Yaz was advertised as capable of treating PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and moderate acne. However, the FDA discovered these claims were exaggerated and the advertisements misleading.

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are “combination birth controls” which means they use two hormones – estrogen and progestin. All three use the progestin known as drospirenone. Yaz is very much like Yasmin and Ocella except it uses less estrogen and is a 24/4 day pill cycle, while Yasmin and Ocella are 21/7 day pill cycles.
