Why choose weight loss medication?

GLP-1 receptor agonists are changing the way weight loss is approached. Originally developed to support people with type 2 diabetes, these medications are now widely recognised for their effectiveness in weight management.

GLP-1 weight loss treatments work by mimicking natural hormones that help regulate appetite, slow digestion, and increase feelings of fullness. This makes it easier to reduce calorie intake and supports sustainable, long-term weight loss.

Clinically proven weight loss treatments

Proven results, backed by science

Medications targeting GLP-1 receptors offer clinically proven results for people living with obesity or weight-related health conditions. These treatments are not quick fixes. They form part of a longer-term medical approach designed to support a healthier lifestyle.

By reducing hunger signals and increasing feelings of fullness, GLP-1 therapies can help patients lose a meaningful percentage of their body weight when combined with appropriate lifestyle changes.

Product details

Medication type

Combined hormonal contraceptive (CHC) containing an oestrogen (ethinylestradiol) and a progestogen (levonorgestrel).

Active ingredient

Drospirenone/Ethinylestradiol

Generic

No

Side effects

Nausea, headaches, breast tenderness, mood changes, or light breakthrough bleeding between periods may occur.
Less commonly: weight gain, reduced libido, irritability, or digestive disturbances.

Serious but rare side effects include deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience leg pain, sudden shortness of breath, or chest pain.

Works within

By preventing ovulation, thickening cervical mucus, and altering the lining of the uterus, Levonorgestrel / Ethinylestradiol works on multiple levels to prevent pregnancy. These hormonal actions mimic the body’s natural processes to maintain a stable hormonal balance and prevent the release of an egg. This multi-target approach provides reliable and well-tolerated contraceptive protection when used regularly and according to instructions.

Effective in

When started on the first day of your period, Yasmin is effective immediately. If the first tablet is taken on another day of the cycle, an additional contraceptive method (such as condoms) should be used for the first 7 days to ensure full protection.

FAQs

Veuillez consulter notre page FAQ pour en savoir plus.

When should I start taking the pill?

For immediate protection, start taking Yasmin on the first day of your natural period. You are then protected straight away. If you start on any other day, you must use extra protection (like condoms) for the first 7 days.

Can I skip or delay my period with this pill?

Yes. You can delay your period by starting the next strip of Yasmin immediately after finishing the current one, without taking the 7-day break. You will remain protected against pregnancy. You may experience some spotting or breakthrough bleeding during this second strip, but this is normal.

Does this pill protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs)?

No. Yasmin only prevents pregnancy. It does not offer protection against HIV or other sexually transmitted infections. You should use condoms to protect against STIs.

Which medications can reduce the effectiveness of this pill?

Some medications can make Yasmin less effective, including medicines for epilepsy (e.g., primidone, phenytoin, carbamazepine), tuberculosis (e.g., rifampicin), HIV infections, and herbal remedies containing St. John’s Wort. Always disclose your full medication history to your prescriber.

Can I take this pill while breastfeeding?

No. Yasmin is generally not recommended during breastfeeding as it may reduce the amount of milk produced. Consult a doctor for non-hormonal alternatives or progesterone-only pills ("minipills").
