Key Information
What is Yasmin Tablet?
Yasmin Tablet is an oral, film-coated tablet containing two active ingredients: drospirenone 3mg and ethinylestradiol 0.03mg per tablet.
It is manufactured by Bayer and is available in packs of 21 tablets, with larger pack options listed on DoctorOnCall.
Each tablet contains a fixed amount of both active ingredients. Check the packaging to confirm the product name, strength, pack size and registration details before ordering.
Read the package leaflet carefully and follow the instructions supplied with the product.
Is this strength right for me?
Yasmin Tablet contains drospirenone 3mg and ethinylestradiol 0.03mg. Check the strength printed on the pack to ensure it matches the product you selected.
Before taking the tablets, read the warnings and precautions in the package leaflet.
Pay particular attention if you smoke, have high blood pressure, experience migraine with aura, have a history of blood clots, or have liver or kidney problems.
If you take other medicines or supplements, check the interaction information and ask a pharmacist if you are unsure whether additional precautions are needed.
Delivery, packaging and ordering
Select your preferred pack size from the options available on DoctorOnCall.
Review the product details and delivery information before completing your order.
Orders are handled by a registered pharmacist in accordance with the pharmacy's procedures.
When your parcel arrives, check the product name, strength, batch number, expiry date and packaging condition.
If the item does not match your order or the packaging appears damaged, contact DoctorOnCall customer support for assistance.
Side effects, safety and when to seek help
Yasmin Tablet may cause side effects such as headache, nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes or unexpected bleeding. Not everyone experiences these effects, and their severity can vary.
Combined hormonal tablets can increase the risk of blood clots. Read the package leaflet for the full list of warnings, precautions and possible side effects.
Tell your pharmacist about any medicines or supplements you take, as some may interact with the ingredients.
Seek emergency medical attention if you experience sudden chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden severe headache, changes in vision, or pain and swelling in one leg. These symptoms may indicate a serious condition and should not be ignored.
How to take your Yasmin Tablet
Read the package leaflet. Before starting, check the instructions, precautions and tablet-taking schedule supplied with the pack. Make sure you understand the order in which the tablets should be taken.
Follow the blister sequence. For the standard 21-tablet pack, take one tablet daily for 21 consecutive days, following the order printed on the blister strip.
Take it at a consistent time. Swallow the tablet with water, at approximately the same time each day. Follow the instructions in the leaflet regarding the start of a pack and the seven-day tablet-free interval.
Check before taking other medicines. Some medicines can affect how Yasmin works or increase the risk of side effects. Review the leaflet's interaction information and ask a pharmacist if you are unsure.

Relevant Information
Yasmin is dispensed only against a valid prescription obtained through an online consultation with a DoctorOnCall doctor, who reviews your personal and family medical history, blood pressure, and clotting risk factors before prescribing. Regular medical follow-up is recommended to reassess suitability, particularly for smokers, women over 35, or those who develop new medical conditions while on the pill. Yasmin does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so barrier contraception is still advised where relevant.

Within Malaysia, standard delivery takes 3 to 5 working days. Same-day delivery is available in the Klang Valley for orders placed before 12pm; orders placed after 12pm arrive by the end of the next day.
Orders to Singapore are sent as international deliveries and take 5 to 9 working days. A lump-sum shipping and handling fee applies to every overseas delivery and is shown at checkout.
Customers in Malaysia can pay by FPX online banking, credit or debit card (Visa and Mastercard), and supported e-wallets including Touch ‘n Go eWallet, GrabPay and ShopeePay.
FPX and local e-wallets are tied to Malaysian bank and wallet accounts, so if your delivery address is in Singapore, use the payment options displayed at checkout for that address rather than assuming the same list applies.
Yes. DoctorOnCall ships to Singapore as an international order dispatched from Malaysia, arriving in 5 to 9 working days with a lump-sum shipping and handling fee.
Singapore’s Health Sciences Authority (HSA) allows personal imports of up to three months’ supply of a medicine for your own use or an immediate family member’s, as long as it contains no controlled drugs, psychotropic substances or prohibited items. Keep the product in its original labelled packaging and keep a copy of your prescription or doctor’s letter with it. Quantities above three months’ supply, and medicines containing controlled substances, require prior HSA approval.
Products listed on DoctorOnCall are registered with Malaysia’s Ministry of Health for supply in Malaysia, and each pack carries its MAL registration number.
An order delivered to Singapore arrives as a personal import of a Malaysia-registered product; HSA product registration is not required for personal-use quantities, but it is also not the same as a product registered for sale in Singapore. If you need a locally registered Singapore product, buy it from a pharmacy in Singapore.
DoctorOnCall’s customer care team handles order, delivery and product queries through the contact channels on the site, including WhatsApp and the online help centre.
For deliveries to Singapore, allow more time before chasing an order than you would for a local Malaysian delivery, as the parcel passes through customs clearance and tracking updates can appear later in the journey.
