Many of you may already know this BUT I think this is important because it is the first hormonal contraceptive approved for premenstrual dysphoric disorder and here are
the details: 1) YAZ 24/4 became available in 2006 and has the same dose of drospirenone (3mg) as Yasmin BUT a lower dose of ethinyl estradiol (20 mcg) 2) YAZ contains 24 days of active medication and 4 days of placebo..taking active hormonal pills for 24 days results in less ovarian follicular development than with the 21/7 pill packs. 3)YAZ 24/4 has an FDA approved indication for PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and is the first hormonal contraceptive shown to be effective for the treatment of physical and emotional symptoms of PMDD. 4) IN ADDITION drospirenone (the progestin component in YAZ and Yasmin) has antiandrogenic and antimineralocorticoid properties and MIGHT BENEFIT WOMEN BY IMPROVING ACNE, HIRSUITISM, and other skin problems...and significantly reduces water retention and bloating.
