Hello,

Let me tell you that both Yasmin and Novelon are combination oral contraceptive pills. Both contain synthetic progesterone and Ethinyl estradiol.

The basic difference between the two is the dose of progesterone. Yasmin contains much more progesterone than novelon.

Let me also tell you that almost all oral contraceptive combinations will cause weight gain and so I suggest go with Novelon as it suits you better.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Prabhash Verma, General & Family Physician
