Frequently asked questions

What is Jasmine used for?+
Jasmine is a combined oral contraceptive containing drospirenone and ethinylestradiol. It is prescribed to prevent pregnancy and to regulate menstrual cycles in women of reproductive age. It may also be used under medical supervision for certain hormone‑related conditions.
How does drospirenone/ethinylestradiol work?+
The combination works by suppressing the hypothalamic‑pituitary‑ovarian axis, which inhibits the mid‑cycle surge of luteinizing hormone and prevents ovulation. Drospirenone also thickens cervical mucus, making it hostile to sperm, while ethinylestradiol induces endometrial changes that reduce the likelihood of implantation.
What is the usual dose?+
The dosage regimen for Jasmine is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, the product is taken once daily at the same time for a 21‑day active pill sequence followed by a hormone‑free interval, but the exact schedule and pack size are set by the healthcare provider.
Is Jasmine safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Jasmine is contraindicated in pregnancy (Category X) and must be discontinued if pregnancy occurs. Limited data are available for breastfeeding; however, combined oral contraceptives are generally considered compatible with lactation, though clinicians may prefer progestin‑only methods during early postpartum periods.
How do I order Jasmine from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Jasmine product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Jasmine compare with other combined oral contraceptives?+
Jasmine contains drospirenone, a progestin with anti‑aldosterone and anti‑androgenic properties, which may offer benefits such as reduced water retention compared with levonorgestrel‑based pills. Efficacy in preventing pregnancy is comparable across approved combined oral contraceptives, while side‑effect profiles can differ based on the progestin component.
How should Jasmine be stored and handled?+
Jasmine tablets should be stored at temperatures below 25 °C, in the original blister pack, protected from moisture, heat and direct sunlight. Keep the medication out of reach of children and do not use if the packaging is damaged or the tablets appear discolored.
How is Jasmine administered?+
Jasmine is taken orally, once daily, preferably at the same time each day. The typical regimen consists of 21 consecutive active tablets followed by a 7‑day hormone‑free interval during which withdrawal bleeding occurs. Patients should not skip doses and should follow the prescribing clinician’s instructions.
What are the most serious risks to watch for?+
The most serious risks include venous thromboembolism, arterial thrombosis, myocardial infarction, stroke, and severe hypertension. These events are more likely in women who smoke, are over 35 years old, have a history of clotting disorders, or have uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors. Immediate medical attention is required if symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath or sudden severe headache develop.
Who should not use Jasmine?+
Jasmine should not be used by women who are pregnant, have known or suspected estrogen‑dependent tumors, have a history of thromboembolic disease, uncontrolled hypertension, severe liver disease, or who are smokers over the age of 35. It is also contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to drospirenone, ethinylestradiol or any excipients in the tablet.
