Tablets must be taken in the order directed on the package every day
at about the
same time, with some liquid as needed. Tablet taking is continuous.
One tablet is
taken daily for 28 consecutive days. Each subsequent pack is started
the day after
the last tablet of the previous pack. Withdrawal bleeding usually
starts on Day 2-3
after starting the white placebo tablets and may not have finished
before the next
pack is started.
HOW TO START YASMIN
_No preceding hormonal contraceptive use (in the past month) _
Tablet-taking has to start on Day 1 of the woman’s natural cycle
(i.e. the first day of
her menstrual bleeding). The women should be instructed to take a
light yellow
active tablet from the green section of the pack, corresponding to
that day of the
week. If started on Day 1 in this way, protection against pregnancy is
immediate
and no additional methods of contraception are requ
