Question
Who Shouldn't take Yasmin?
Answer
Yasmin shouldn't be taken by women with kidney, adrenal or liver problems.
Patients who are taking NSAIDS (i.e. motrin) on a regular basis, other potassium
sparing diuretics, extra supplements of potassium, heparin or ACE inhibitors should
have their potassium levels checked in the first cycle of use.
