Product Introduction
YAZ Tablet is a combination oral contraceptive containing Drospirenone 3 mg and Ethinyl Estradiol 30 micrograms. Drospirenone is a progestin and Ethinyl Estradiol is a synthetic estrogen. The medication is indicated for contraception and management of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and moderate acne in patients seeking oral contraception. The active ingredients work together to regulate menstrual cycles and provide contraceptive efficacy.
Uses

Acne Management: Treats moderate acne in women seeking contraception. Hormonal Regulation: Stabilizes hormonal imbalances in various conditions.
How it works

Ethinyl Estradiol stabilises the endometrium, ensuring cycle regularity and enhancing contraceptive efficacy. Together, they create a robust mechanism to prevent ovulation, regulate hormonal fluctuations, and improve skin health.
