A member asked:

I am 25 years old and have been on yasmin (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) for about 3 months. i am worried about blood clot risks since i have very bad circulation. should i change?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Yasmin and Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) have a component that increases the risk of thrombophlebitis and blood clots. With so many other pills available to do the same thing, i would change.
