Suggest Remedy For Migraines And Acne While On Yasmin Contraceptive
hi im 40 years old and am on Yasmin contraceptive pill for 3 months now, has reduced my heavy periods (as i have low iron) however i have migraines and bad acne. Is there another pill that will still keep my periods to a minimum but help with headaches and acne

Hi,
Migraine and acne are common with contraceptive pills, especially like combined pills like Yasmin.
You can take analgesics like Mefenemic Acid for symptomatic relief.
If the symptoms are severe, you can take progesterone only pills which has got lesser chance for similar side effects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
