How to take Yaz if you haven't had your period

For patients who have not had a menstrual period, drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets should be taken on the fifth day of menstruation. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets primarily contain drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol. This medication is a commonly used contraceptive that not only prevents pregnancy but also helps regulate premenstrual syndrome due to the antimineralocorticoid activity of its components. Its biochemical properties are similar to those of natural progesterone. After use, it can regulate the menstrual cycle, making it more regular, and alleviate abdominal discomfort associated with menstruation. This is an oral medication intended for use during menstruation. If a patient has not started menstruating, they should begin taking the medication only when their period begins. It is recommended that patients start taking drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol tablets under a doctor's guidance on the fifth day of menstruation, taking the pill at the same time every day with a glass of lukewarm water, for 21 consecutive days.

During treatment, withdrawal bleeding may occur, which is a normal phenomenon. It is advisable to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and refrain from strenuous physical activity.
