pharmachologic effect

The summary shows that the Yaz preparation is a monophasic oral contraceptive, which also has an antiandrogenic and antimineralocorticoid effect on the body.
Contraceptive inhibits the process of ovulation, and also affects the cervical secret, so that spermatozoa can not penetrate through it freely.
Those women who take this medicine note that their monthly cycle is more regular, menstruation becomes less painful, and bleeding is not so abundant. As a consequence, the risk of anemia decreases. When combined oral contraceptives are used, the likelihood of ovarian cancer and endometrium is also reduced.
The active substance drospirenone has an antimineralocorticoid effect on the body. Under his influence, the accumulation of extra pounds in the body is prevented, as well as the appearance of edema. It positively affects the condition of a woman during the period of PMS, reducing the intensity of psychoemotional disorders, joint pain in the joints, and other unpleasant symptoms.
Antiandrogenic activity of this component is noted, which determines a positive effect on the skin condition. As a consequence, the amount of acne decreases, the level of fatness of the skin and hair decreases. The effect of drospirenone is similar to that of natural progesterone in the body.
Estrogenic, androgenic, glucocorticoid and antiglucocorticoid activity in drospirenone is absent. Combined with ethinyl estradiol, drospirenone acts favorably on the lipid profile.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics

Drospirenone after oral intake is absorbed quickly and almost completely. The maximum concentration is noted after 1-2 hours after administration. The level of its bioavailability is 76-85%. Bioavailability does not depend on the connection between food intake and the preparation. When taking the cycles, the maximum serum drospirenone level is noted between 7 and 14 days of treatment.
After internal administration, drospirenone is metabolized extensively. Only a small part of the substance is excreted unchanged. Metabolites are excreted through the kidneys and intestines. The substance is well tolerated by patients with hepatic insufficiency in mild and moderate form.
Ethinyl estradiol after intake is absorbed completely and quickly. Once consumed, the maximum concentration is observed after 1-2 hours. The bioavailability of the component is about 60%. Metabolized completely through aromatic hydroxylation. Metabolites from the body are excreted with bile and urine.

Instructions for the use of Yaz (Method and dosage)

If a woman chooses the JS birth control pills, the instructions for use should be strictly followed. It is envisaged that the tablets should be taken strictly in the order that is indicated on their packaging. Every day, the drug should be taken at about the same time, washed down with an unpleasant amount of liquid. Instructions for the use of Yaz include taking one tablet a day for 28 days. The new packaging should begin the day after the woman drank the last tablet from the previous package. As a rule, bleeding can begin on day 2-3 after the abolition occurred.
If the woman did not take any hormonal contraceptive in the previous month, Yaz's appointment begins on the first day of the monthly cycle. It may start on the 2nd-5th day of the cycle, but it is also advisable to use barrier barrier contraception during the first seven days of taking the Yaz tablets.
How to take the pill when switching to them after other methods of protection, you should ask the gynecologist who recommended this drug.
After an early abortion, you can start taking Yaz right away, with no additional contraceptive measures.
If childbirth or abortion occurred in the second trimester, it is advisable to start Yaz OK on the 21-28th day after this.
In the event that a woman misses a pill that is inactive, you can ignore it. But still do not take missed inactive pills, for which they are thrown away.
If there is a missing tablet, which is active, and the delay does not exceed 12 hours, then the protection does not decrease. You need to take the drug as soon as possible. If the delay exceeded 12 hours, the woman missed 2 tablets, or the break was even longer, in which case the level of protection is reduced. Accordingly, the longer the break, the greater is the probability of fertilization.
Thus, the consequences of discontinuing Yaz's admission are as follows: if it is 4 days or more, the probability of pregnancy is significantly increased. To ensure adequate suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian system, it is necessary to continuously take the pill for seven days.
Therefore, if you miss a woman, you need to take the next pill as soon as possible, you can take two tablets at once. Further, the active tablets are taken at the usual time. Inactive must be discarded and a new package should be started. In this case, bleeding during admission is unlikely, but small discharge may occur during admission.
If during the admission period there was a break in the use of active pills, and on the days of taking inactive bleeding tablets was not noted, it is necessary to exclude pregnancy.
In the case of development of serious gastrointestinal disorders, partial absorption of active substances is possible. On such days it is necessary to use additional contraception. If a woman has vomiting within 4 hours after taking the pill, you should act as if you missed the pill.
How to stop taking pills and, at the same time, switch to other methods of contraception, it is advisable to ask in detail a specialist gynecologist.

Interaction

With the simultaneous use of Yaz and other drugs (a number of antibiotics, enzyme inducers) can trigger the manifestation of breakthrough bleeding, as well as a decrease in the level of reliability.
With the simultaneous use of Yaze drugs that induce microsomal liver enzymes (such as barbiturates, primidone, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampicin, etc.), the clearance of sex hormones increases.
Under the influence of some antibiotics, it is possible to decrease the intestinal-hepatic circulation of estrogens and, correspondingly, a decrease in the concentration of ethinyl estradiol.
In the period of simultaneous administration of drugs that affect microsomal enzymes, as well as during 28 days after the abolition of such drugs, additional contraception is needed. Additional contraception is needed within 7 days after taking ampicillin and tetracyclines.
