In the article, we will consider how to switch from "Jess" to "Yarina".
Switching from one oral contraceptive to another alone is not recommended. To do this, consult a gynecologist. Consider the features of the drugs "Yarina" and "Yarina Plus", the rules for switching from them to other means.
Composition of the drug and packaging
The drug "Yarina" is an oral multiphase contraceptive, which means that all tablets in a pack of hormones are contained in the same dosage. One tablet of the drug contains 0.03 milligrams of ethinyl estradiol and three milligrams of drospirenone.
One package contains a plate (blister) with Yarina tablets for use within a month.
What are the analogues?
Analogs are drugs "Yarina Plus" and "Midiana" containing hormones in the same dosage.
Many are interested in how to switch from "Jess" to "Yarina." Let's figure it out. "Jes" is an oral contraceptive of monophasic action with a pronounced antiandrogenic property. The main active ingredients of the drug are ethinyl estradiol 20 mcg in 1 tablet and drospirenone 3 mg in 1 tablet. Also, the composition of the tablet "Jess" includes some auxiliary components.
Advantages of the drug "Yarina"
Oral contraceptive "Yarina" is characterized by antiandrogenic effect. This means that tablets block the functioning of androgens - the male sex hormones in the female body.
Androgens are known to be a common cause of acne and oily skin on the face. That is why the drug can have a cosmetic effect - to weaken or eliminate acne in general.
Among other things, “Yarina” makes it possible to relieve pain during menstruation and reduce signs of premenstrual syndrome. Tablets do not retain water in the body, so the woman’s weight does not increase when taken.
The drug can be used to treat polycystic ovaries, uterine fibroids, adenomyosis and endometriosis, as well as a number of other gynecological pathologies.
You can switch from "Yarina" to "Jess" or to other birth control pills if the medication did not fit for some reason.
Rules for taking the drug
When taking the drug for the first time: the first tablet is drunk on the first day of menstruation (this day is the first day of the woman's cycle). At the beginning of taking the pills, menstruation may stop due to the influence of hormones. This is not necessary to be afraid of.
A woman can start taking the drug on the third or fifth day of the cycle, but in this situation, you need to use additional contraceptives (for example, a condom) within a week after starting to take the tablets.
It is advisable to drink tablets every day at approximately the same time. They are recommended to be taken in the order indicated on the blister. However, if the patient is confused, you can drink them randomly, nothing bad will happen, since all tablets contain hormones in the same dosage.
After the blister has ended (that is, 21 tablets were drunk), you need to take a break for a week, during which you do not need to take the tablets. During this period, a woman may begin to have her period.
Reception of the first pill from a new blister begins on the eighth day after a week-long break, regardless of the monthly (even if they have not yet ended or have not begun).
Should I stay safe during the weekly break?
If a one-week break is maintained between the packages, you do not need to use additional contraceptives, since the contraceptive effect is preserved to a high degree.
However, this is true only when a woman drank the previous pills according to the rules and did not miss. If you miss one or more pills in the third week after using the drug or lower the effect of the tablets for another reason (taking the medicine, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.), it is better not to do a week break at all.
How to switch from "Jess" to "Yarina"?
When taking other contraceptives, such as Jess, and wanting to switch to Yarina, the following recommendations should be observed:
- When the contraceptive contains 28 tablets in a blister (for example, this is exactly the amount in the Jess drug), the first Yarina tablet should be taken the day after the end of the pack of the previous contraceptive. Similarly, the transition from "Jess" to "Yarina Plus Wumen."
- If there are 21 tablets in the package of the previous product, you can take the Yarina drug the day after the blister of birth control pills ends, or on the eighth day after a week break.
How to switch from "Jess" to "Yarina" is described in detail in the instructions.
