Hi,

Yaz is a combined oral contraceptive pill which contains (ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone) and is commonly used prevent pregnancy. It can also treat depression and mood symptoms from premenstrual dysphoric disorder as well as moderate acne in women 14 years of age and older.

Whereas Trisequens which contains estradiol and norethisterone is a sequential combined Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) which is commonly prescribed in postmenopausal women for the relief of symptoms occurring after menopause and also to prevent osteoporosis. It is not used as a contraceptive.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
