Q: i have been on combo birth control pills for 4 years. a year ago i went on yaz. if i stopped taking it today, how long will it take for it to leave my system?

: The half life of 2 ingredients of Yaz is more than 24 hours so I would expect at least a week or 10 days before those drugs are no longer in you system.
