Question 1

Is Ocella the same as Yasmin?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Ocella and Yasmin are the same medication produced by different manufacturers. Both contain drospirenone (a form of progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (a form of estrogen).

Question 2

Is Ocella good for acne?

Accepted Answer

Ocella is the generic form of Yasmin and is very similar to Yaz. Yaz has a slightly lower amount of estrogen and is approved by the FDA to treat acne. While Yasmin and Ocella are not approved to treat acne, many patients find that their skin improves when taking oral contraceptives, especially if their acne is hormonal.

Question 3

Does Ocella stop your period?

Accepted Answer

Many people experience spotting and/or period irregularity when first beginning a new form of birth control. This side effect will likely lessen over time as your body adjusts, but a small percentage of patients do find that their periods lighten or stop altogether. Everyone is different! If you do find you stop getting your period, be sure to check in with your doctor to make sure it is because of your birth control and not another health concern.

Can I get a refill for my existing birth control prescription through Wisp?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Are there any age restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Wisp treats patients 18 - 54 for this area of care. Wisp does not offer hormonal birth control, hormonal cycle control, or emergency contraception to patients over the age of 55.
