Yaz is indicated for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to
use an oral contraceptive. Yaz is also indicated for the treatment of
symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) in women who choose
to use an oral contraceptive as their method of contraception.
Yaz is also indicated for the treatment of moderate acne vulgaris in
women at least 14 years of age, who have no known contraindications to
oral contraceptive therapy and have achieved menarche. Yaz should be
used for the treatment of acne only if the patient desires an oral
contraceptive for birth control.
Yaz is the only birth control proven to treat the emotional and physical
symptoms of PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) that are severe
enough to impact the lives of women who choose the Pill for
contraception.
Yaz is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy, and is the only birth
control Pill with a 24/4 dosing schedule (you take active pills for 24
days, followed by 4 inactive pills). This means that Yaz gives you 3
additional days, which helps your hormone levels stay even. Plus, Yaz
has the unique hormone, drsp (drospirenone) - the preferred progestin of
OB/Gyns.
