Taking Yasmin Birth Control. Is Using Zoely Safe?

Hi, I'm currently on the Yasmin birth control pill but am worried about the serious side effects I keep hearing about - ie blood clots.

I've had no trouble with it myself so far, thankfully and it does clear up my skin really well.

However I've heard about Zoely being a new more natural, less risky alternative to Yasmin, but I'm finding contradicting reviews when it comes to acne. I just wondered if it's likely to make my spots better or worse?

Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Yasmin is low dose & proven medication for its risk & benefits, deep vein thrombosis is very rare side effect with such low dose pill.
However Zoley is new medication & it is still under trial.
I will advice you to go with Yasmin & you can continue it till 50 years of age if not having other co-morbidities like diabetes, hypertension or liver disorder.
Regards,
I find this answer helpful
