Is Yasmin a safe medication to take for treating polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and unwanted facial hair?

Asked by Female, 23 · 2 hours ago

Yes, Yasmin (a combination of ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone) is a very common and effective option for managing PCOS and reducing unwanted facial hair. The drospirenone in it helps block the hormones that cause excess hair growth. For a healthy 23-year-old, it is generally very safe. However, because all birth control pills carry small risks, it is important to discuss your personal medical history, like blood pressure, with your doctor first.
