What is the difference between Yaz and Yasmin birth control pills?

Asked by desiree333 (3236points) February 9th, 2010

I just got Yaz today. I asked my doctor for Yasmin because I know people who really like it, and he gave me Yaz instead. I’m pretty sure it is because Yaz is more specialized for acne than Yasmin, since I told him I wanted the Pill to help with acne also. Is Yaz and Yasmin from the same company? (Yaz is from Bayer) Are they the same thing but Yaz is better at controlling acne? I would check on their websites but it won’t let me on them, I’m not sure if the two types of birth control pills are affiliated to each other.
