Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was on the birth control pill Yasmin for 2 years I stopped using it a year ago but I want to go back on it because I have been suffering with acne. I ve read that there have been lawsuits with regards to Yasmin and it s side effects. Is it safe to use? I am afraid it will do more harm than good.
I don't recommend you to take Yasmin for acne. This medication like all medications have side effects like increasing the risk for thrombosis, breast disease, osteoporosis weight gain etc. I suggest you to take an appointment with Dermatologists.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
