A member asked:

I recently changed from yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) to yasmin. i finished the four white yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) pills then started the active yellow yasmin ones. will i still be protected?

Yes: You did it exactly right. Yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) is just a higher dose version of tax. It should be no problem as far as protection goes.
