Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is Yaz a strong birth control pill?
Yaz is a low-dose birth control pill that is still highly effective when taken consistently. It contains drospirenone, which also helps in acne treatment and PMDD. If you’re unsure whether a lower or higher-dose pill suits your health goals, Your Doctors Online can help you compare Yaz with alternatives like Estarylla birth control or Yasmin during your virtual consultation.
Does Yaz increase breast size?
Breast tenderness or slight swelling is a common hormonal side effect during the first few months of taking Yaz. These effects are usually temporary and subside as the body adjusts to the hormones. If symptoms persist or cause discomfort, an online doctor visit will help you assess whether a different birth control like Mili birth control is better for you.
Which is safer, Yaz or Yasmin?
Yaz and Yasmin prescription contain the same progestin (drospirenone), but Yaz has a lower estrogen dose (20 mcg vs. 30 mcg in Yasmin). Both have a slightly increased risk of venous thromboembolism compared to older birth control pills. The safer option depends on the individual’s age, smoking status, BMI, and medical history.
Will I gain weight on Yaz?
Clinical studies have not shown significant long-term weight gain with Yaz. Some women may experience mild water retention or appetite changes, but these effects are not usually substantial. If you’re noticing significant changes or are also taking medications like Spironolactone or Lexapro that may influence weight, a doctor from Your Doctors Online can review your complete medication profile.
What are the disadvantages of Yaz?
Yaz may cause side effects such as nausea, headache, mood changes, breakthrough bleeding, and breast tenderness. It may not be suitable for women with liver disease, a history of blood clots, or certain types of migraines. Additionally, it may slightly increase potassium levels, requiring monitoring in patients with kidney or adrenal disorders.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Although Ozempic is safe when taken according to the doctor’s prescription, during the first few weeks, you can expect to experience the following symptoms:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Stomach pain
- Diarrhea/Constipation
- Loss of appetite
These side effects will subside as your body adjusts to the medication. To minimize discomfort, your doctor will usually start you on a low dose of 0.25 mg and gradually increase it only if needed.
What to avoid while taking Yaz?
Smoking is the first and most important thing to avoid while taking Yaz. It’s also important to avoid certain medications and herbal supplements as per the healthcare provider’s direction.
