Contraceptive medicationsweredevelopedin the 1960’s. Since that time, there have onlybeen 4majortypesof progestin used. The progestin usedin Yaz and Yasmin is called drospirenone, and isa new fourth-generation progestin.
Given thatthe progestin is new, there’s not a lot of information availableto support statementsthat the hormone is safe when takenin combinationwith estrogen to preventpregnancy.
Nonetheless, reports whichhave been performed, indicatethat drospirenone, is much morehazardouswhen compared to other progestins that are usedto preventpregnancy.
