How Yaz (0.02+3) Mg (Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol) Works:

Yaz (0.02+3) Mg has two active ingredients;

One is Drospirenone (a progestin, female hormone), which prevents the pregnancy by preventing the release of an egg from the ovary or preventing fertilization of the egg by sperm (male reproductive cells). It also may work by changing the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent the development of a pregnancy

And the other is, Ethinyl Estradiol (primary female sex hormone), which maintains the Estrogen levels in the body and relieves from the symptoms occurring after menopause (it work as the hormone replacement therapy)
