Question 1

Does Yaz improve acne?

Accepted Answer

Yaz is one of the only birth control pills approved by the FDA to treat acne! Everyone is different, but many people find their skin improves significantly while taking Yaz, especially if their acne is hormonal.

Question 2

Why was Yaz taken off the market?

Accepted Answer

In 2012 the FDA announced that people taking Yaz and other contraceptives that contain drospirenone (a form of progestin) may be at a higher risk for blood clots than patients taking birth control with other forms of progestin. Instead of taking the drugs off the market, the FDA added a warning label to warn doctors and patients about the elevated blood clot risk. If you are concerned about your risk for blood clots, please let your doctor know so they can discuss your options with you and let you know more about your risk.

Question 3

Does Yaz cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Weight change is a possible side effect for all combination birth control pills due hormonal changes that lead to water retention. This side effect is likely to subside so give your body at least 3 months to adjust before trying something new. You may also want to take note of any other recent lifestyle changes that could lead to weight gain — a change in birth control often goes along with changes in other parts of your life too!

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

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.
