This effect of the drug Midiana in the form of birth control pills is possible due to the interaction of the two active components ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone. Their pharmacokinetic processes are different.

Drospirenone in the stomach is not completely absorbed. Its maximum accumulation in the blood is observed after 7 or 14 hours.

Cleansing the body of this substance of the Midian birth control pills occurs through the kidneys and with feces.

Ethinyl estradiol on the contrary, it is completely absorbed in a short period of time. It leaves the body along with urine and feces.

Yarina, Novinet and Midiana

If you compare Midiana and Yarina, they are essentially the same in composition, due to this they also have the same effect.

For this reason, a specialist should choose, and not the woman herself.

Many people are interested in what is the difference between Yarina and Yarina Plus and is there any? In fact there is a difference.

Both drugs are effective agents that protect against unwanted pregnancy. After taking the pills, the cervical mucus becomes thick, making fertilization impossible.

Some analogues of Yarina have a lower price:

Many people are interested in whether analogue drugs are as effective? Each of the listed contraceptives guarantees 99% prevention of pregnancy.

The choice of contraceptive depends on individual abilities.

For example, Novinet is suitable for young girls. Regulon and Yarina are used as medicine. In any case, before purchasing a contraceptive, you should consult a gynecologist.

Analogues of this contraceptive can be divided into two categories: similar in composition and similar in action, but different in composition.

The second category is much more extensive. Here are the most popular drugs:
- “Lindinet 20”;
- “Marvelon”;
- "Mersilon";
- “Novinet”;
- “Regulon”;
- “Logest”;
- “Janine.”

If it is Yarin, most likely there is a reason for this, since this drug compares favorably with others.

Most of the side effects of Yarina, according to doctors, occur due to under-examination and unauthorized use of the drug.

To whom and why is Yarina prescribed?

It is believed that the drug "Yarina" effectively reduces the risk of the following diseases: cancer of the uterus and ovaries, inflammation of the genital organs, ectopic. There is a possibility of reducing the risk of mastopathy and breast cancer when taking this drug, and the risk of developing osteoporosis (decreased bone density) is reduced.

The doses of hormones in the drug are low. In addition to the contraceptive effect, it has an antimineralocorticoid effect, i.e. reduces fluid retention in the body and associated swelling. The drug has a pronounced antiandrogenic effect, which means that taking it when there is an excess of male sex hormones in the body suppresses them. Therefore, “Yarina” is often prescribed for therapeutic and preventive properties.

For a long time there were rumors about the dangers of any hormonal contraceptives, and they were partly justified: the first drugs had a lot of shortcomings.

Drugs similar in composition to Yarina most often have a similar effect. Thus, the drugs “Dailla” and “Jess” completely copy “Yarina” in composition and action. "Midiana", despite its similar composition, does not have an antiandrogenic effect, but is nevertheless similar to natural progesterone. The drug "Dimia" has a less pronounced antimineralocotic effect than others.

Only a qualified doctor can correctly select such serious medications as hormonal contraception. Therefore, you should not look for analogues of the prescribed medicine and look for a cheaper drug. All hormonal contraceptives are in a relatively similar price range. The risk of various side effects is much higher when self-medicating.

Today, the pharmaceutical market offers many different hormonal drugs that are used for contraceptive purposes. Typically, gynecologists recommend the use of low-dose contraceptives, as they reliably protect against unwanted pregnancy, while not affecting metabolic processes and not retaining fluid in the body. Among the new generation hormonal contraceptives, Yarina and Midiana are distinguished. To decide which is better, you should familiarize yourself with the main characteristics and properties of each of them.

Composition and medicinal properties

And Midiana are monophasic COCs that contain drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol in equal dosages of 3 mg and 30 mg, respectively. If you compared the full composition, you might have noticed that Yarin has more auxiliary components, the dragees are enriched with titanium dioxide, iron oxide, they contain talc and macrogol.

Due to the fact that the drugs have similar components, the mechanism of action of both drugs is the same and is aimed at blocking ovulatory function. Along with this, estrogen-gestagen components increase the density of cervical mucus, which is an additional protection against pregnancy - it makes it difficult for male germ cells (sperm) to penetrate into the uterine cavity.

Drospirenone prevents fluid retention in the body, that is, it prevents the occurrence of hormone-dependent edema, so weight gain on COCs is not observed.

While taking contraceptives, an artificial hormonal background is created, due to this there is an improvement in the condition of hair, skin and nails (Yarina and Midiana have a cosmetic effect).

Each of the drugs is quite well tolerated, while they reduce the severity of premenstrual syndrome and normalize the menstrual cycle.

It is worth noting that in addition to Yarina, the Bayer company also produces another contraceptive called Yarina Plus. If we compare Yarina and Yarina Plus, then in the second drug, in addition to the main estrogen-gestagen components, there is a vitamin supplement - calcium levomefolate, its mass fraction in each tablet is 0.451 mg.

Release form

Each of the drugs is available in the form of pills, which are placed in blister packaging. There are 21 tablets inside the blister.

At first glance, there are no differences, but they still exist. On the back of Yarina's blister, the regimen for taking the hormonal drug is indicated, and the days of the week are marked so that the woman does not forget about taking the contraceptive pill. But on the Midiana blister there are no markings for the days of the week, the pills are only numbered.

The package of Yarina Plus contains 21+7 pills, 21 of them are active (the composition includes estrogen-progestin components and calcium levomefolate), and the rest of the pills are placebo, they contain only calcium levomefolate.

Inside the pack of each drug there may be 1 or 3 blister packs of dragees.

Reception scheme

Yarina, like Median, is taken for 21 days, followed by a seven-day break. Reception of Yarina Plus is designed for 28 days.

Contraindications

Each of the hormonal drugs should not be taken if:

• Tendency to thrombosis
• Diabetes mellitus complicated by vascular disorders
• Pancreatitis
• Severe headaches (migraines)
• Smoking
• Presence of problems with the activity of the kidneys and liver
• Detection of hormone-dependent oncological process
• Pregnancy, GW
• Uterine bleeding of unknown origin
• Individual sensitivity to the components of hormonal pills.

If you choose between Yarina or Midiana based on the list of contraindications, then there are no significant differences.

Side effects

When taking contraceptives, various adverse reactions may occur, but the main ones are:

• Severe headache (more often when taking Yarina)
• Irregular vaginal bleeding
• Change in sex drive
• Disorders in the gastrointestinal tract (characteristic during the period of adaptation to the drugs Yarina or Midiana)
• Skin rash
• Metabolic disorders
• Increased likelihood of developing thrombosis.

It is worth noting that the described side symptoms may be associated with the individual characteristics of the patient’s body or the presence of concomitant diseases.

If side symptoms are observed for a long time (more than 3 months), you need to consult a gynecologist; the drug may not be suitable. A specialist may recommend taking an analogue drug.

Manufacturer

If you have a choice between the drugs Midiana or Yarina, then you need to pay attention to the country of origin. The first is manufactured by the pharmaceutical company Gedeon Richter (Hungary), the second is produced by the Bayer corporation (Germany).

Yarina is a certified pharmaceutical product, and Midiana is produced under license. But despite these differences, each of the drugs is made from high-quality synthetic components.

Price

The cost of birth control pills also varies. Prices for drugs from the Bayer company are quite high, they range from 1029 rubles. (21 tablets) up to 3375 rub. (84 tablets). The cost of packing Midiana is 584-803 rubles. for 21 tablets; 1363-1872 rub. for 63 tab.

From the above we can conclude that purchasing Midiana is much more profitable. A pack of this hormonal drug costs almost half as much as Yarina.

Before purchasing one of the drugs described above, you should consult your doctor. The specialist will give recommendations on which hormonal contraceptive to give preference to.

Yarina – general information

Yarina– modern contraceptive, which is very popular and is often prescribed by gynecologists. In women for whom a doctor has prescribed hormonal contraceptive, many questions often arise about how to use them correctly.

What to do if you miss two tablets?

If two pills are missed, the contraceptive effect of the pills is reduced. If you miss two or more tablets, the instructions for use of the drug recommend that you visit your doctor and discuss the situation with him. The closer the missed pill is to the 7-day break, the more likely pregnancy is to occur, so there is a need to use additional contraceptives (for example, barrier means - condoms). If you miss pills in the third week, you can stop taking them, thus starting a 7-day break earlier than expected. In this case, menstruation will begin earlier.

How long can the drug be used?

Most often, doctors recommend taking Yarina as much as a woman needs. contraception. One drug can be taken for no more than five years. When and how to take breaks from taking the contraceptive, your doctor will advise you during your examination. Usually, breaks of one to three months in taking pills are taken every six months or a year.

What to do if there is no period after a 7-day break?

Sometimes withdrawal bleeding (menstruation) does not occur during the 7-day break. In this case, you should take a pregnancy test. If it is negative, you can start taking the next package of Yarina. Pregnancy cannot be excluded if the pills were taken irregularly, vomiting occurred while taking them, or additional medications were taken that could affect the effect of the contraceptive. Withdrawal bleeding should not be absent for two cycles in a row. If menstruation does not occur in two cycles in a row during a 7-day break, you should consult a doctor to rule out pregnancy or find out the cause of this condition.

Delayed menstruation after finishing treatment

Normally, after stopping long-term use of hormonal contraceptives, the menstrual cycle is restored within 1-3 months. To determine the cause of the absence of menstruation, you must consult a doctor, as it can be caused by various diseases and conditions. The doctor will prescribe an examination, including an ultrasound, tests to determine the level of sex hormones. In some cases, a condition called ovarian hyperinhibition syndrome occurs after stopping combined oral contraceptives. This condition is reversible - usually menstruation is restored 3-4 months after stopping taking the pills.

Possibility of getting pregnant after taking Yarina

It is believed that the body needs approximately 3 to 12 months to restore ovarian function and ovulation after taking oral contraceptives. Despite this, there are often cases when pregnancy occurs already in the first months after stopping taking hormonal contraceptives. Very often, after discontinuation of contraceptive drugs, a so-called “rebound effect” occurs. It is characterized by the fact that after the withdrawal of hormones coming from outside, the ovaries begin to produce their own hormones more strongly. Thanks to this, the possibility of getting pregnant while stopping the drugs increases significantly. This condition is possible if contraceptives were not used for a long time, but for several months (most often from three to six). If pregnancy has not occurred within a year or two after stopping oral contraceptives, an examination should be performed to identify the cause of infertility.

Taking pills for polycystic disease

Polycystic ovary syndrome (polycystic ovary syndrome) is a hormonal disease in which cysts form in the ovaries and the process of egg maturation is disrupted. The causes of this disease may be different. Symptoms of polycystic disease include menstrual irregularities, ovarian cysts, and increased levels of androgens (male sex hormones). Hormonal drugs are used in the treatment of polycystic ovarian disease.

Yarina is one of the drugs prescribed for this disease, along with other drugs. Treatment for polycystic ovary syndrome is long-term; you need to take the medicine for at least several months. During treatment, you should undergo tests to determine whether the drug is helping. The advantage of Yarina in the treatment of polycystic disease is that, thanks to low doses of hormones, it has almost no effect on weight and does not cause swelling.

Yarina and endometriosis

Endometriosis (adenomyosis) is a disease in which tissue similar to the endometrium (the lining of the uterus) grows in other organs or tissues. Such growths cause spotting before and after menstruation, uterine bleeding, and pain in the lower abdomen. Yarina is one of the hormonal drugs prescribed for this disease. The use of Yarina for endometriosis is different in that it is necessary to take the medicine without a 7-day break. Thanks to this, menstrual function is completely suppressed, which helps stop the growth of endometriosis foci. The course of treatment is long and lasts at least six months.

Yarina and hair loss

Complaints of hair loss are among the most common among women who have stopped taking Yarina. This is due to the fact that after cancellation birth control pills The level of sex hormones in the body changes, which can affect the cycle of hair change and growth. Experts advise that before stopping the drug, consult a doctor who will prescribe a course of maintenance treatment (for example, vitamin therapy) in order to reduce the consequences of drug withdrawal.

How does Yarina help against acne?

As you know, Yarina has an antiandrogenic effect - that is, it can reduce the amount of male sex hormones in the body. This property of the drug is used in the treatment of acne (blackheads or pimples), the cause of which is hyperandrogenism (increased levels of male sex hormones). Androgens are normally produced by the female body, only in very small quantities. If for any reason their production increases, symptoms of hirsutism (unwanted hair growth on the face and body), acne, and irregular menstruation appear. Therefore, very often dermatologists prescribe the drug Yarina for therapeutic purposes for acne caused by hyperandrogenism.

In some cases, at the beginning of use, and during the first 3-6 months, an increase in rashes is possible due to the body’s adaptation to the medicine. Most often, after this period ends, the skin condition improves. If this does not happen, you need to consult a doctor to replace Yarina with another drug.

Can my breasts get bigger while taking Yarina?

One of the side effects of Yarin tablets is changes in the mammary glands. The most common side effect is engorgement or tenderness of the mammary glands, less often hypertrophy (increase in size) occurs. Even more rarely, discharge from the breast may occur. All these phenomena disappear after discontinuation of the contraceptive. If such side effects cause inconvenience and suffering, it is better to consult a doctor to find a different contraceptive drug.

Are they getting better from Yarina?

Weight gain occurs due to various reasons. One of them is fluid retention in the body (edema). Since Yarina contains the hormone drospirenone, which has an antimineralocorticoid effect (reduces the effect of hormones that retain fluid in the body), weight when taking Yarina may decrease slightly due to the removal of fluid (reduction of edema). Another reason for weight gain when taking oral contraceptives is an increase in appetite. To avoid undesirable consequences of taking contraceptives, you should pay attention to the balance of calories in and calories out. If, with a balanced diet, sufficient physical activity and the absence of edema, body weight still increases, you should consult an endocrinologist, since the cause of weight gain may be a dysfunction of the thyroid gland.

Nausea when taking pills

One of the side effects of taking Yarina is nausea. It occurs in about one in a hundred cases, or more often. Vomiting is much less common. If nausea does not go away after a period of adaptation to the drug, then it is better to consult a doctor and choose other tablets. To reduce nausea, doctors recommend taking Yarina in the evening (before bed), not on an empty stomach, but after a meal (for example, a light dinner).

Change in libido

Changes in libido are also one of the side effects of Yarina. Studies have shown that a decrease in libido occurs more often, and an increase in libido occurs slightly less often. In addition, mood swings and decreased mood may occur, which can also affect the desire for sexual intercourse.

Yarina and antibiotics

If you need to take antibiotics while taking Yarina, you should definitely inform your doctor that you are taking Yarina. Some antibiotics can affect the effect of the contraceptive, reducing it. In turn, taking hormonal medications can also affect the effectiveness of antibacterial drugs. For example, penicillin antibiotics and tetracycline reduce the effectiveness of Yarina, therefore, while taking them, and for 7 days after stopping antibiotics, barrier methods of contraception should be used. Antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis (rifampicin, rifabutin), on the contrary, can enhance the effect of sex hormones, so breakthrough bleeding often occurs when they are used together with Yarina.

Which is better – Yarina or Jess?

The drugs Yarina and Jess are similar in composition - both drugs consist of Drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol. Unlike Yarina, Jess contains 20 mg of ethinyl etradiol, which may slightly reduce the severity of adverse reactions. The drugs differ in the number of tablets - Yarina’s package contains 21 tablets, all tablets are active and after taking them you need to take a break of 7 days. The Jess package contains 28 tablets, of which 24 are active tablets and 4 are inactive (placebo). Therefore, you need to take Jess without interruption.

Yarina or Logest - which to prefer?

The contraceptive Logest differs in composition from Yarina - it contains the hormone gestodene in a dosage of 0.075 mg, ethinyl estradiol in a dosage of 0.02 mg. Thus, the dose of hormones in Logest is less than in Yarin and other similar drugs; it belongs to microdosed drugs.

The package also contains 21 active tablets, after taking which you should take a seven-day break.

What is better to take – Yarina or Novinet?

The drug Novinet differs from Yarina in composition and belongs to microdosed combined oral contraceptives. Novinet is also effective in the treatment of acne (pimples), but unlike Yarina, it does not have an antimineralocorticoid effect (that is, it does not affect fluid retention in the body and does not reduce swelling). The contraceptive Novinet is produced by another manufacturer; its advantage over Yarina is its lower price.

What to choose - Yarina or Diana-35?

The properties that combine the drugs Yarina and Diane-35 are antiandrogenic and contraceptive effects. This means that both contraceptives are used to treat the phenomena of hyperandrogenism (increased levels of male sex hormones), the manifestations of which are acne, seborrhea, hirsutism (male pattern hair growth), alopecia (hair loss). Due to the fact that Diana-35 contains the hormones cyproterone acetate and ethinyl estradiol in a higher dose (35 mcg), its antiandrogenic effect is more pronounced compared to Yarina. In addition, Diane-35 is more often prescribed for the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome.

Which is better – Janine or Yarina?

Janine is one of the modern contraceptives, similar in hormone content to Yarina. Janine differs from Yarina only in that she contains the hormone dienogest in a dose of 2 mg. Just like Yarina, it has an antiandrogenic effect.

Yarina or Midiana?

The drug Midiana differs from the drug Yarina in that it is produced by a different manufacturer. The composition of the contraceptives is the same, Yarina is the original drug, and Midiana is produced under license and is its analogue. The advantage of Midiana is its lower cost compared to Yarina.

Yarina or Marvelon – what to choose?

Marvelon differs from Yarina in the content and type of gestagen - Marvelon contains desogestrel in a dosage of 150 mcg. The content of the estrogen ethinyl estradiol in the drugs is the same, both are low-dose. Unlike Yarina, Marvelon does not have a cosmetic antiandrogenic effect.

When choosing a contraceptive, you should always take into account the individual characteristics of each woman, since there is not a single drug that would suit absolutely everyone.

Transition from Yarina to Janine

If it is necessary to switch from Yarina to Zhanine, it should be taken the next day after the last tablet of Yarina is taken. You can take a break between taking Yarina and Zhanine tablets, which should not exceed 7 days.

How to switch from Yarina to Lindinet 20?

You can switch to Lindinet 20 from Yarina after finishing the package of Yarina (after 21 tablets), or on the 8th day after the usual 7-day break.

Switching from NuvaRing to Yarina

When it becomes necessary to start taking Yarina after using the NuvaRing contraceptive ring, the first tablet should be taken on the day the ring was removed. It is also allowed to take a break of no more than 7 days. In this case, they begin to take Yarina no later than the day when the next ring was supposed to be inserted.
Before use, you should consult a specialist.
