It contains a different type of progestin, which may increase potassium. For healthy women this is not a problem.
How can you be sure YASMIN is safe for you?
Consult your doctor. You should not take YASMIN if you have kidney, liver or adrenal disease because this could cause serious heart and health problems.
What drugs could interfere with YASMIN?
Potassium-increasing drugs. Tell your doctor if you are on daily, long-term treatment for a chronic condition with any of the following: NSAIDs-ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®), naproxen (Naprosyn®, Aleve®, and others) when taken long-term and daily for arthritis or other diseases or conditions, Potassium-sparing diuretics (spironolactone and others), Potassium supplementation, ACE inhibitors (Capoten®, Vasotec®, Zestril®, and others), Angiotensin-II receptor antagonists (Cozaar®, Diovan®, Avapro®, and others), and Heparin. Women who take any of the preceding drugs every day should have their potassium level checked in the first month of taking YASMIN.
