Yarina – general information

Yarina– modern contraceptive, which is very popular and is often prescribed by gynecologists. In women for whom a doctor has prescribed hormonal contraceptive, many questions often arise about how to use them correctly.

What to do if you miss two tablets?

If two pills are missed, the contraceptive effect of the pills is reduced. If you miss two or more tablets, the instructions for use of the drug recommend that you visit your doctor and discuss the situation with him. The closer the missed pill is to the 7-day break, the more likely pregnancy is to occur, so there is a need to use additional contraceptives (for example, barrier means - condoms). If you miss pills in the third week, you can stop taking them, thus starting a 7-day break earlier than expected. In this case, menstruation will begin earlier.

How long can the drug be used?

Most often, doctors recommend taking Yarina as much as a woman needs. contraception. One drug can be taken for no more than five years. When and how to take breaks from taking contraceptives, your doctor will advise you during your examination. Usually, breaks of one to three months in taking pills are taken every six months or a year.

What to do if there is no period after a 7-day break?

Sometimes withdrawal bleeding (menstruation) does not occur during the 7-day break. In this case, you should take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, you can start taking the next package of Yarina. Pregnancy cannot be excluded if the pills were taken irregularly, vomiting occurred while taking them, or additional medications were taken that could affect the effect of the contraceptive. Withdrawal bleeding should not be absent for two cycles in a row. If menstruation does not occur in two cycles in a row during a 7-day break, you should consult a doctor to rule out pregnancy or find out the cause of this condition.

Delayed menstruation after finishing treatment

Normally, after stopping long-term use of hormonal contraceptives, the menstrual cycle is restored within 1-3 months. To determine the cause of the absence of menstruation, you must consult a doctor, as it can be caused by various diseases and conditions. The doctor will prescribe an examination, including an ultrasound, tests to determine the level of sex hormones. In some cases, a condition called ovarian hyperinhibition syndrome occurs after stopping combined oral contraceptives. This condition is reversible - usually menstruation is restored 3-4 months after stopping taking the pills.

Possibility of getting pregnant after taking Yarina

It is believed that the body needs approximately 3 to 12 months to restore ovarian function and ovulation after taking oral contraceptives. Despite this, there are often cases when pregnancy occurs already in the first months after stopping taking hormonal contraceptives. Very often, after discontinuation of contraceptive drugs, a so-called “rebound effect” occurs. It is characterized by the fact that after the withdrawal of hormones coming from outside, the ovaries begin to produce their own hormones more strongly. Thanks to this, the possibility of becoming pregnant while stopping the drugs increases significantly. This condition is possible if contraceptives were not used for a long time, but for several months (most often from three to six). If pregnancy has not occurred within a year or two after stopping oral contraceptives, an examination should be performed to identify the cause of infertility.

Taking pills for polycystic disease

Polycystic ovary syndrome (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal disease in which cysts form in the ovaries and the process of egg maturation is disrupted. The causes of this disease may be different. Symptoms of polycystic disease include menstrual irregularities, ovarian cysts, and increased levels of androgens (male sex hormones). Hormonal drugs are used in the treatment of polycystic ovarian disease.

Yarina is one of the drugs prescribed for this disease, along with other drugs. Treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome is long-term; you need to take the medicine for at least several months. During treatment, you should undergo tests to determine whether the drug is helping. The advantage of Yarina in the treatment of polycystic disease is that, thanks to low doses of hormones, it has almost no effect on weight and does not cause swelling.

Yarina and endometriosis

Endometriosis (adenomyosis) is a disease in which tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) grows in other organs or tissues. Such growths cause spotting before and after menstruation, uterine bleeding, and pain in the lower abdomen. Yarina is one of the hormonal drugs prescribed for this disease. The use of Yarina for endometriosis is different in that it is necessary to take the medicine without a 7-day break. Thanks to this, menstrual function is completely suppressed, which helps stop the growth of endometriosis foci. The course of treatment is long and lasts at least six months.

Yarina and hair loss

Complaints of hair loss are among the most common among women who have stopped taking Yarina. This is due to the fact that after cancellation birth control pills The level of sex hormones in the body changes, which can affect the cycle of hair change and growth. Experts advise that before stopping the drug, consult a doctor who will prescribe a course of maintenance treatment (for example, vitamin therapy) in order to reduce the consequences of drug withdrawal.

How does Yarina help against acne?

As you know, Yarina has an antiandrogenic effect - that is, it can reduce the amount of male sex hormones in the body. This property of the drug is used in the treatment of acne (blackheads or pimples), the cause of which is hyperandrogenism (increased levels of male sex hormones). Androgens are normally produced by the female body, only in very small quantities. If for any reason their production increases, symptoms of hirsutism (unwanted hair growth on the face and body), acne, and irregular menstruation appear. Therefore, very often dermatologists prescribe the drug Yarina with therapeutic purpose for acne caused by hyperandrogenism.

In some cases, at the beginning of treatment, and during the first 3-6 months, an increase in rashes is possible due to the body’s adaptation to the medicine. Most often, after this period ends, the skin condition improves. If this does not happen, you need to consult a doctor to replace Yarina with another drug.

Can my breasts get bigger while taking Yarina?

One of side effects Yarin tablets is a change in the mammary glands. The most common side effect is engorgement or tenderness of the mammary glands, less often hypertrophy (increase in size) occurs. Even more rarely, discharge from the breast may occur. All these phenomena disappear after discontinuation of the contraceptive. If such side effects cause inconvenience and suffering, it is better to consult a doctor to find a different contraceptive drug.

Are they getting better from Yarina?

Weight gain occurs due to various reasons. One of them is fluid retention in the body (edema). Since Yarina contains the hormone drospirenone, which has an antimineralocorticoid effect (reduces the effect of hormones that retain fluid in the body), weight when taking Yarina may decrease slightly due to the removal of fluid (reduction of edema). Another reason for weight gain when taking oral contraceptives is an increase in appetite. To avoid undesirable consequences of taking contraceptives, you should pay attention to the balance of calories in and calories out. If, with a balanced diet, sufficient physical activity and the absence of edema, body weight still increases, you should consult an endocrinologist, since the cause of weight gain may be a dysfunction of the thyroid gland.

Nausea when taking pills

One of the side effects of taking Yarina is nausea. It occurs in about one in a hundred cases, or more often. Vomiting is much less common. If nausea does not go away after a period of adaptation to the drug, then it is better to consult a doctor and choose other tablets. To reduce nausea, doctors recommend taking Yarina in the evening (before bed), not on an empty stomach, but after a meal (for example, a light dinner).

Change in libido

Changes in libido are also one of the side effects of Yarina. Studies have shown that a decrease in libido occurs more often, and an increase in libido occurs slightly less often. In addition, mood swings and decreased mood may occur, which can also affect the desire for sexual intercourse.

Yarina and antibiotics

If you need to take antibiotics while taking Yarina, you should definitely inform your doctor that you are taking Yarina. Some antibiotics can affect the effect of the contraceptive, reducing it. In turn, taking hormonal medications can also affect the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs. For example, penicillin antibiotics and tetracycline reduce the effectiveness of Yarina, therefore, while taking them, and for 7 days after stopping antibiotics, barrier methods of contraception should be used. Antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis (rifampicin, rifabutin), on the contrary, can enhance the effect of sex hormones, so breakthrough bleeding often occurs when they are used together with Yarina.

Which is better - Yarina or Jess?

The drugs Yarina and Jess are similar in composition - both drugs consist of Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol. Unlike Yarina, Jess contains 20 mg of ethinyl etradiol, which may slightly reduce the severity adverse reactions. The drugs differ in the number of tablets - Yarina’s package contains 21 tablets, all tablets are active and after taking them you need to take a break of 7 days. The Jess package contains 28 tablets, of which 24 are active tablets and 4 are inactive (placebo). Therefore, you need to take Jess without interruption.

Yarina or Logest - which to prefer?

The contraceptive Logest differs in composition from Yarina - it contains the hormone gestodene in a dosage of 0.075 mg, ethinyl estradiol in a dosage of 0.02 mg. Thus, the dose of hormones in Logest is less than in Yarin and other similar drugs; it belongs to microdosed drugs.

The package also contains 21 active tablets, after taking which you should take a seven-day break.

What is better to take – Yarina or Novinet?

The drug Novinet differs from Yarina in composition and belongs to microdosed combined oral contraceptives. Novinet is also effective in the treatment of acne (pimples), but unlike Yarina, it does not have an antimineralocorticoid effect (that is, it does not affect fluid retention in the body and does not reduce swelling). The contraceptive Novinet is produced by another manufacturer; its advantage over Yarina is its lower price.

What to choose - Yarina or Diana-35?

The properties that combine the drugs Yarina and Diane-35 are antiandrogenic and contraceptive effects. This means that both contraceptives are used to treat the phenomena of hyperandrogenism ( higher level male sex hormones), the manifestations of which are acne, seborrhea, hirsutism (male pattern hair growth), alopecia (hair loss). Due to the fact that Diana-35 contains the hormones cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol in a higher dose (35 mcg), its antiandrogenic effect is more pronounced compared to Yarina. In addition, Diane-35 is more often prescribed for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Which is better – Janine or Yarina?

Janine is one of the modern contraceptives, similar in hormone content to Yarina. Janine differs from Yarina only in that she contains the hormone dienogest in a dose of 2 mg. Just like Yarina, it has an antiandrogenic effect.

Yarina or Midiana?

The drug Midiana differs from the drug Yarina in that it is produced by a different manufacturer. The composition of the contraceptives is the same, Yarina is the original drug, and Midiana is produced under license and is its analogue. The advantage of Midiana is its lower cost compared to Yarina.

Yarina or Marvelon – what to choose?

Marvelon differs from Yarina in the content and type of gestagen - Marvelon contains desogestrel in a dosage of 150 mcg. The content of the estrogen ethinyl estradiol in the drugs is the same, both are low-dose. Unlike Yarina, Marvelon does not have a cosmetic antiandrogenic effect.

When choosing a contraceptive, you should always take into account the individual characteristics of each woman, since there is not a single drug that would suit absolutely everyone.

Transition from Yarina to Janine

If it is necessary to switch from Yarina to Zhanine, it should be taken the next day after the last tablet of Yarina is taken. You can take a break between taking Yarina and Zhanine tablets, which should not exceed 7 days.

How to switch from Yarina to Lindinet 20?

You can switch to Lindinet 20 from Yarina after finishing the package of Yarina (after 21 tablets), or on the 8th day after the usual 7-day break.

Switching from NuvaRing to Yarina

When it becomes necessary to start taking Yarina after using the NuvaRing contraceptive ring, the first tablet should be taken on the day the ring was removed. It is also allowed to take a break of no more than 7 days. In this case, they begin to take Yarina no later than the day when the next ring was supposed to be inserted.
Before use, you should consult a specialist.

when the weight loss effect occurs.

Apparently everyone differently and depends on the individual hormonal background. In fact, Yarina belongs to the monophasic combined estrogen-progestogen OCs, contains a new component Drospirenone, an analogue of progesterone, and has an antimineralkorticoid effect, i.e., it is able to prevent weight gain and the appearance of other symptoms (for example, edema). associated with hormone-induced fluid retention. I took Yarina for six months, during the period of taking it I lost 3 kg, the weight began to decrease while taking the second package, and my skin condition improved. In the first month of taking it, there was slight nausea and bad mood, which then disappeared and I no longer experienced any discomfort. As soon as I stopped taking Yarina, I immediately gained those 3 kg.

Yarina makes her boobs grow - that's a fact. but they neither gain weight nor lose weight from it.

mayalp Guru (2788) 7 years ago

I drank Yarina for 3 months. I didn't notice any changes at all. She neither lost weight nor gained weight, the problem (for which Yarina was prescribed) was not solved either.

Adek Vaten Pro (840) 7 years ago

my wife lost 3 kg in the first month

Marina Sokolova Pro (778) 7 years ago

At work, the girl drank Yarina for a whole year and nothing grew, only her doctor told her that now she needed something else, why I don’t remember. take a break so you don't get used to it. Now I stuck the patch on, I don’t know the effect. If it still works, then everything is fine.

Irina Thinker (9437) 7 years ago

I took Janine and got better, BUT! No matter how trivial it was, swelling))) Unfortunately, I am prone to it, and I had to give up Janine. Have you noticed that your weight increases when the pills from the package are already running out? - This is fluid retention in the body. Many women make the mistake of thinking that this is excess weight. Yarina helps prevent the accumulation of excess fluid in the body - that’s all the miracles of weight loss due to Yarina, simply the water no longer sits on the “fat” calves of the legs, hips, and waist. And gaining 3-5 kg ​​of weight from water before the onset of menstruation is realistic. Moreover, few know that you can find out your correct, real weight only from the 3rd to the 10th day of menstruation - during this period, excess fluid is removed from the body.
But not everyone is OK. It all depends on individual characteristics. Some people live well with Janine. and some people feel bad from Yarina.

Yulia Kitten Master (1183) 7 years ago

I recently stopped taking Yarina, took it from October to December (3 cycles). I gained 17kg and my bust is almost size 4. But now, thank God, I have already lost 7 kg. The instructions also say that weight changes are possible.

Yarina's birth control pills have a special composition, which arouses increased interest in them among gynecologists and their patients. This is a modern, high-quality hormonal contraceptive that does not have many of the side effects of other combined oral contraceptives (COCs). It is produced in Germany by the large company Bayer Pharma.

Effect of the drug

Yarin contains two components for hormonal contraception - ethinyl estradiol (estrogenic) and drospirenone (gestagenic) in low dosages (30 mcg and 3 mg, respectively). The medicine is a monophasic contraceptive, that is, in all tablets of the package the ratio of these active ingredients does not change.

While taking it, the likelihood of pregnancy is the same as when using other low-dose COCs. The number of unplanned pregnancies during a year among 100 women does not exceed 1. If the patient follows all the rules for using the drug, the probability of conception approaches 1:500.

Yarina hormonal tablets prevent pregnancy by a combination of the following effects:

• suppression;
• increased viscosity of the mucus of the cervical canal, which makes it difficult for sperm to enter the uterus;
• inhibition of cyclic processes occurring during the cycle in the endometrium; in this case, conditions are created that are unfavorable for the implantation of the egg, even if fertilization has occurred.

Thus, the drug affects many processes necessary for conception, so it effectively prevents pregnancy.

Additional medicinal effects:

• restoration of regular menstruation;
• decrease ;
• reducing the amount of blood lost during menstrual or intermenstrual bleeding;
• prevention of iron deficiency anemia in women;
• reducing the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer.

Features and indications

There is nothing unusual about Yarina’s estrogenic component, ethinyl estradiol. It is necessary to regulate the functioning of the ovaries. Its presence in the drug causes some typical side effects of COCs, for example, a tendency to vein thrombosis.

The peculiarity of the product is its gestagen component. Drospirenone, unlike levonorgestrel and other similar substances, has additional activity:

• has an effect similar to medicine spironolactone; that is, it is a weak diuretic that preserves potassium in the body, but at the same time prevents the appearance of edema and other signs;
• does not cause weight gain with long-term use;
• has an antiandrogenic effect: prevents or treats acne, excess oily skin and hair, hirsutism (appearance of facial hair).

These features determine the group of patients for whom Yarina is most suitable. They have the following symptoms:

• swelling, irritability, migraine and other signs of premenstrual syndrome;
• phenomena of hirsutism - acne, excess oiliness of hair and skin, the appearance of unwanted hairs on the face, seborrhea.

Indications for taking Yarina are a necessity. It can be prescribed even to young girls who have started their menstrual cycle, without changing the dose or regimen. After menopause, when there are no cycles, there is no need to use Yarina.

How to drink Yarina?

To simulate the natural menstrual cycle, the drug is taken 21 days in a row, 1 tablet. It is advisable to do this at the same time of day, regardless of meals. After 3 weeks of use, a break of 7 days is required.

On what day do menstruation begin when taking Yarin?

Menstruation begins after 2-3 days. Even if they did not stop by the end of the week's break, they begin the 3-week course again. In this case, it is not necessary to open a new package, since the hormone content in all tablets is the same. However, it is more convenient to start using the drug from the next package, so as not to get confused and prevent missing tablets.

If your period does not end within 2 days after resuming the course of pills, you should consult a doctor.

Effect on the menstrual cycle

In the first months of using the drug, some women experience irregular bleeding. Adaptation occurs within 3 months of use. If after this the regular cycle has not been restored, you need to contact a gynecologist.

It is especially important to consult a doctor in time if, after several normal cycles, irregular discharge reappears. In such a situation, it is necessary to exclude pregnancy and malignant tumors of the genital organs.

Pregnancy after Yarina can occur in the next cycle after the next menstruation.

Start of reception

The doctor who prescribed it should tell you how to take Yarina for the first time. There are also detailed instructions in the instructions for use.

You can end your appointment at any time. If pregnancy is not planned, you should start using others.

Missing an appointment

If the patient forgot to take a pill, resuming the use of the medicine depends on how much time has passed since the required but missed dose.

The rules for resuming contraception are determined by the week in which the unplanned break occurred.

1st week

1. Take the pill as early as possible. If the patient forgot to use the drug on the previous day, then she will need to take 2 tablets at once (“forgotten” and the next one).
2. Take subsequent tablets as usual.
3. For a week after this, you must use condoms during sexual intercourse.
4. It must be taken into account that pregnancy can also occur if sexual intercourse took place during the previous week before missing the pill.

2nd week

1. The basic rules are the same as for skipping the 1st week.
2. If the patient took the drug correctly for a week before the unplanned break, additional contraception is not needed.
3. If during the week before skipping the drug was taken in violation of the regimen, or if more than one tablet was missed, you must resume your usual daily intake and use condoms over the next week.

3rd week

At this time, the likelihood of an unplanned pregnancy increases. However, if there were no violations in the dosage regimen during the week before skipping, additional contraception is not needed. Otherwise, the patient chooses one of two options:

1. Start taking the medication as soon as possible, one tablet per day. In this case, do not take a break between packages. In this case, menstruation will not occur. There may only be a slight spotting discharge. After completing the next pack, take the usual one-week break.
2. Do not take pills for a week, including the “missed” day. This will cause menstruation. After 7 days, start using the medicine from a new package. If you don’t have your period after stopping Yarina, you should consult a doctor; you may be pregnant.

Vomiting or diarrhea in the first 4 hours after taking the pill is considered to be missed. In this case, you need to follow the above rules depending on the week in which this happened.

Changing the start date of menstruation

With the help of the drug, you can shift the onset of your next period. This property can be used in exceptional cases, for example, when traveling to the seaside or before an important sports performance.

• To prevent menstruation from starting in the current month, Yarina should not be discontinued after taking the entire package. Immediately, without a week's break, the medication from the next package begins. It can be continued for the required number of days, up to 21. Menstruation will begin 1-2 days after finishing using the medicine. In addition, spotting or short-term menstrual-like bleeding are possible while using the second package. The contraceptive effect is not reduced.
• To reschedule your period a few days earlier, you should reduce the interval between packs by the required number of days in advance. After completing the second package, menstruation will begin, that is, menstruation will come as many days earlier as the “free” interval between packages was shorter.

Side effects

6 out of 100 women taking Yarina experience nausea. With the same frequency, patients have chest pain. If such symptoms appear, you should consult a doctor. You may need to select a different contraceptive.

The most dangerous side effects are thrombosis, that is, blockage of arteries or veins.

In 1-10% of cases the following side effects are observed:

• unstable mood, depression, weakened libido;
• migraine headache;
• irregular bleeding from the vagina.

The development of thrombosis occurs in one in 10,000 women and less frequently. In this case, the following pathological conditions may appear:

• thrombosis of the veins of the extremities;
• pulmonary embolism;
• myocardial infarction;
• ischemic stroke.

In large studies and in practice, conditions have been identified that may be somehow related to taking Yarina, but occur extremely rarely when using this drug:

• slight increase in risk (for patients over 40 years of age);
• increased likelihood of benign or malignant liver tumors;
• the appearance of erythema nodosum - rounded nodes, usually located on the anterior surfaces of the legs;
• pancreatitis with simultaneous elevated levels of triglycerides in the blood;
• arterial hypertension;
• increased symptoms with hereditary angioedema;
• liver dysfunction;
• worsening diabetes;
• ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease (intestinal damage);
• chloasma (dark spots on the skin);
• manifestations of intolerance, for example, allergic skin rash.

Any negative effect on the fetus during pregnancy early stages was not identified. However, if this condition is suspected, the medication should be stopped.

Contraindications

The drug Yarina has the following contraindications:

• previous vascular thrombosis, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke;
• previous transient ischemic attack;
• IHD, including angina pectoris;
• migraine with the appearance of focal neurological symptoms (impaired movements, sensitivity, smell, speech, etc.);

• individual intolerance.

If the listed conditions appear while taking Yarina, it should be stopped immediately.

This COC can be taken for fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts and other non-tumor diseases of the genital organs.

Interaction with other drugs

Some medications may reduce the contraceptive effectiveness of the drug.

• phenytoin;
• drugs from the group of barbiturates;
• carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine;
• rifampicin and rifabutin;
• topiramate or felbamate;
• griseofulvin;
• products based on St. John's wort;
• some medications for the treatment of HIV infection.

Special rules must be observed when taking antibiotics such as penicillins (Amoxiclav, Oxacillin, Ampicillin and others) and tetracyclines (Doxycycline and others). During treatment with these drugs, as well as for a week after completing the course, you must additionally use condoms.

If during this week when additional barrier contraception, the tablets from the package run out, they immediately start the next one, without the usual one-week break.

Yarina and other hormonal contraceptives

The Bayer company, in addition to this drug, produces a similar one - Yarina Plus.

What is the difference between Yarina and Yarina plus?

Yarina plus contains another component - calcium levomefolate, which is the active form of folic acid. Its purpose is to reduce the risk of defects nervous system fetus, if pregnancy occurs while taking COCs.

This medicine is prescribed to patients who receive insufficient amounts of folic acid.

Which is better: Yarina or other COCs (Jess, Janine, Klaira, Regulon, Belara)?

It is better to get the answer from the gynecologist who is observing you, since all these drugs have differences in properties and are prescribed in different clinical situations:

Complete analogues in composition, cheaper than Yarina:

• Anabella (Czech Republic) - 1400 rubles for 84 tablets;
• Midiana (Hungary) – 740 rubles for 21 tablets;
• Vidora (Spain) – 625 rubles for 21 tablets;
• Modell Pro (Israel) – 691 rubles for 21 tablets;
• Yamera (India).

Preparations Jess and Dimia are practically no different from Yarina, except for the amount of ethinyl estradiol in them - not 30, but 20 mcg.

Yarina is a fairly expensive drug, so you need to ensure its authenticity. To do this, you should take a good look at the tablets from the package. It may contain 1 or 3 blisters of 21 tablets. Each of them has an even light yellow color and is covered with a film shell. On one of the sides there is a hexagon embossed, in which the letters DO are located. You should not take the drug if it external characteristics do not correspond to those indicated, and also if it was sold at a price significantly lower than the average (about 1000 rubles for 21 tablets).

Yarina is deservedly considered one of the best contraceptives today. The drug not only effectively eliminates the risk of unplanned pregnancy, but also has a good effect on appearance, eliminating skin imperfections and swelling, and, importantly, maintains weight within the same limits. But, like all serious drugs, a contraceptive requires not only compliance with the rules of administration, but also knowledge of how to refuse it. To prevent Yarina’s withdrawal from causing a shock reaction in the body and bringing unpleasant surprises, you need to know how to stop taking pills correctly.

Take and cancel: reasons for refusing the drug

There are many reasons for refusing contraception, but in general there are several good reasons:

• The career is made, and the financial situation allows you to have offspring
• The age for having a baby is approaching critical
• Tired of being on hormonal drugs
• I broke up with my husband (boyfriend), and now there is no need to use protection
• I want to try other contraceptives
• There are health problems for which you cannot drink OK
• Pregnancy.

In addition to these factors, a woman may have other motives for refusing birth control pills. But it also happens differently when there are all the signs that you need to stop drinking Yarina, but the woman continues to take the pills, citing fear of gaining weight, getting old problems with hair, skin or menstrual cycle, etc.

But having decided one day to stop using protection, she wants to do it as soon as possible - preferably in one day. Is it possible to do this, and what will happen in the event of a radical failure?

When is emergency cessation of pills justified?

The contraceptive is a low-dose drug, since the active ingredients are presented in small quantities: 30 mcg of the synthetic hormone ethinyl estradiol and 3 mg of drospirenone. Therefore, as a rule, the drug is tolerated normally. However, there are diseases for which you should not take birth control pills Yarina. If the patient was not examined before prescribing a contraceptive or it was done negligently, then the disease may manifest itself already during the contraception cycle. In this case, continuing the course can cause serious damage to health, and in some women cause death. In such emergency situations, abandoning Yarina is justified.

Diseases and conditions that are incompatible with taking contraceptives include:

• Severe liver pathologies
• Diabetes mellitus with vascular damage
• Lipid metabolism disorder
• Varicose veins
• Oncological neoplasms
• Sharp decrease in vision
• Surgical operations
• Pregnancy.

Also, a quick refusal from Yarina may be necessary if contraindications were not recognized in time:

• PE or venous thrombosis: presence at the time of Yarina’s prescription, as well as history, existing predisposition and risk factors
• Migraine with concomitant focal neurological deficit (included in medical history)
• Pancreatitis (including in the past)
• Severe renal failure
• Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding
• Suspicion of pregnancy
• Severe manifestation of individual allergy to elements of OK
• Lactose intolerance, congenital lactase deficiency, GG malabsorption syndrome (due to the presence of milk sugar in tablets).

In all these cases, a sharp rejection of Yarina is justified.

It may also be necessary to urgently discontinue the drug if, during prescription, adverse symptoms occur in the form of:

• Chest pain radiating to the left arm
• Unexplained severe cough, severe shortness of breath
• Unusually severe headache
• Sudden loss of vision, hearing loss
• Speech disorder
• Paresthesia in certain areas of the body
• Leg pain, swelling.

Symptoms may appear if no contraindications were found at the time of prescription or the patient did not, for some reason, report illnesses and attacks that happened in the past. Then during the course their relapse is possible, which can provoke a sharp deterioration in well-being. Therefore, if the above symptoms have developed, you should not delay the provision of medical care. To avoid fatal consequences, it is better to call an ambulance.

Possible consequences of an ill-considered rejection of Yarina

Like any hormonal drug, it is extremely undesirable to cancel a contraceptive on your own, without coordinating the action with a gynecologist, and even more so spontaneously. Otherwise, discontinuation of OCs leads to a sharp activation of the ovaries, the functioning of which was previously suppressed by synthetic hormones.

The body will no longer receive the usual dose of hormones, and its own production has not yet recovered. As a result, this will cause a shock reaction, the ovaries will begin to intensively make up for their own supply of hormones, and such vigorous work will cause a disruption in the body’s usual state and will lead to other chain reactions. In addition to an unplanned pregnancy, health problems will arise.

The most striking manifestation of OC withdrawal syndrome is breakthrough bleeding and relapse of gynecological diseases due to hormonal imbalance.

To fully restore all functions, normalize the menstrual cycle, the ratio of hormones, eliminate internal “problems” caused by a surge in hormones - all this will take time.

Therefore, under no circumstances should you stop drinking Yarina on your own. If a doctor prescribes a drug based on examination data, then it must be discontinued in the same way - with the selection of dosage, replacement drugs, or the appointment of other measures that will facilitate the transition period.

To avoid possible numerous troubles after stopping OCs, it is better to consult a gynecologist. In this case, he will calculate a scheme for gradually reducing the dosage of Yarina’s birth control pills. Smooth withdrawal will help the body adapt to the gradual decrease in incoming hormones without shock and start its own “production”.

In this scenario, it will be possible to protect the body from a difficult ordeal. During perestroika he will be able to:

• Normalize the menstrual cycle
• Eliminate atrophic phenomena in the endometrium and restore its functioning
• Reanimate the ability of the endometrium to implant a fertilized egg
• Restore the previous state of vaginal microflora
• Restore normal density of cervical mucus.

If the refusal scheme is calculated and applied correctly, then the woman will easily tolerate the refusal of the contraceptive.

But another scenario cannot be ruled out either: until the body considers that it has fully returned functions to the “pre-pill” time and continues to restore the functioning of the genital organs, various symptoms will appear during this transition period. This usually happens if Yarina was not taken for contraception, but was recommended for the treatment of various gynecological problems.

Then we cannot exclude the exacerbation of untreated pathologies: a surge in endometriosis, relapse of uterine fibroids, return of amenorrhea or dysfunctional bleeding. To eliminate them, a new prescription of medications will be required to help cope with the disease.

Therefore, you will have to reserve time after giving up Yarina, and of course, periodically check with a doctor.

How to stop using a contraceptive

Yarina's contraceptive effect begins with the first pill taken. The entire course is designed for 21 days, during which you need to regularly drink OK at the same time. Therefore, the blister is equipped with exactly this number of tablets. After its completion, a week-long break is necessarily taken to stimulate bleeding similar to menstruation, and then, after a week-long break, the contents of the next blister begin.

If the need to quit Yarina arose in the middle of the course, then it is better to complete the cycle of administration by finishing the remaining tablets in the blister. And after a week break, don’t take them anymore.

But what to do if the reception has just started and you only drink a couple of drinks? And is it possible to quit Yarina after one pill if its effect is disappointing?

If the reception is OK caused Negative consequences in the form of nausea, apathy or other side symptoms, then first of all it is necessary to determine the origin of the ailment. It is possible that it was just a coincidence, and the deterioration in health happened for other reasons, and not because of Yarina.

Secondly, the intake of hormonal substances from outside interferes with the usual functioning of the body, replacing natural substances, and thereby causing responses. As a rule, the adaptation period can last several months. During this time, the functions of the ovaries will be suppressed, and the body will adapt to hormones coming from outside. After he gets used to the new conditions and rebuilds his functions, the painful symptoms will go away.

Only a doctor can understand what really affected your health after 2-3 months of taking it and getting used to it. Then he will be able to give advice on whether Yarina should continue drinking.

If, during the course of OK, illnesses or side effects that are incompatible with Yarina develop, then the drug can be discontinued immediately, and in order to avoid the development of withdrawal syndrome, it can be immediately replaced with another OK.

Gynecologists advise adhering to a gradual abandonment of birth control pills. This is done in several ways: the dosage of OK is reduced: depending on the characteristics of the patient, the doctor may recommend reducing the amount by half or a quarter of the tablet per week. Or replace Yarina with other OCs with the same ingredients, but in lower concentrations. In some cases, such a refusal may take several months. This method is especially justified if a woman has been taking Yarina for many years.

Yarina's abandonment due to pregnancy

If for some reason pregnancy does occur, and the woman decides to keep it, then it is simply necessary to stop taking the OC. Moreover, this must be done as soon as an ultrasound confirms the birth of a new life.

It is believed that in the early stages the pills cannot affect the development of the fetus, and besides, all animal experiments have not yet revealed harmful effects. But the negative effect of synthetic hormones cannot be completely excluded.

The gynecologist will tell you how to quickly and without consequences cancel Yarina immediately after receiving the examination data.

Should I give up Yarina after missing pills?

If during the course there is a hitch in taking the next pill, then a woman who is planning to give up the OC may be tempted to do so. But gynecologists do not advise giving up Yarina just because you missed another pill.

To restore the normal course, you must drink it immediately if less than 12 hours have passed since the last pill.

In case of a more serious delay - more than 12 hours - take the forgotten pill and the next one according to the schedule (if the time coincides, two are taken at once). With such a delay, the contraceptive concentration of OCs in the body decreases, so you will have to additionally protect yourself with condoms. You will have to use it within a week after making up for the loss.

If closer to the end of the course it was necessary to replenish the concentration of substances with the help of 1 or several tablets, then to complete the full course the missing pills will need to be taken from the next blister. Having completed a full course of OK, you can abandon it after a break, or discuss with your doctor the specifics of taking another drug.

The modern contraceptive Yarina protects women from many problems: unnecessary pregnancy, hormonal imbalance and conditions caused by it. But all this is possible only with the correct use of the pills, which means correct intake and withdrawal.

Yarina is a monophasic oral contraceptive. This means that all tablets in the package contain the same dose of hormones. One tablet of Yarina contains 30 mcg (0.03 mg) of ethinyl estradiol and 3 mg of Drospirenone.

One package contains one blister (plate) of Yarina for use for one month.

ATTENTION: The drug has contraindications. Do not start using this drug without first consulting your doctor.
