What are the differences between Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella?
Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are combination birth controls that use the hormones estrogen and progrestin. All three birth controls use the progestin known as drospirenone, or drsp. Yasmin (generic name Ocella) was the original birth control pill to use drsp. Yaz is like Yasmin and Ocella except that it uses less estrogen and is a 24/4 day pill cycle, while Yasmin and Ocella are 21/7 day pill cycles.
