Answers:
I am afraid pills may not be interchangeable as the hormones are different, it is not just a case of different brand names for the same thing!. Your contraceptive cover may well have been compromised, so I would not rely on your pill alone for the next 10 days to be sure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
you should be protected as long as you continue with your own brand!. it may cause you some side effects since the Yasmin will be a different combination of hormones, but ultimately you should be ok!.
