Hi

My friend started taking yasmin 21 today, and obviously you are supposed to take it for 21 days, and then stop for 7 days and then start taking it again.

She would like to know 2 things:
1. Are you safe the 7 days you dont eat it?
2. How long do you have to take it before the effect of the medicine starts?

Thanks!

The 7 Day break does protect you.
The pill Protects you straight away, but remember the pill doesnt stop anyone catching STI/STD's.
