Then, take your next pill at the regular time. If you miss two or more, follow the instructions in the patient leaflet or contact your doctor for advice, as you may need to use a backup contraceptive method.</li> <li><b>Inactive (White) Pill:</b> If you miss an inactive pill, discard it and continue with your regular schedule. Missing an inactive pill does not affect contraception.</li> </ul> <p><b>Q2: How effective is Yaz at preventing pregnancy?</b> <b>A:</b> When used perfectly, Yaz is over 99% effective at preventing pregnancy. However, with typical use (which includes missed pills), its effectiveness is closer to 91%.</p> <p><b>Q3: Can I use Yaz to treat my acne even if I don&#8217;t need birth control?</b> <b>A:</b> Yaz is only FDA-approved for treating moderate acne in women who also want oral contraception. Your doctor must determine if this is the right treatment for you.</p> <p><b>Q4: Will Yaz protect me from STIs?</b> <b>A:</b> No. Yaz, like all oral contraceptives, does not protect against HIV/AIDS or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). You should use condoms to protect against STIs.</p> <p><b>Q5: Can I skip my period with Yaz?</b> <b>A:</b> Because Yaz has only 4 inactive pills, the period (or withdrawal bleeding) is often lighter and shorter. Some doctors may advise you to skip the inactive pills and start a new pack immediately to skip your period, but you should only do this under medical supervision.</p> <div class="tinv-wraper woocommerce tinv-wishlist tinvwl-shortcode-add-to-cart tinvwl-loop-button-wrapper tinvwl-woocommerce_product_get_description" data-tinvwl_product_id="6395"> <div class="tinv-wishlist-clear"></div> <p><a role="button" name="add-to-wishlist" aria-label="Add to Wishlist" class="tinvwl_add_to_wishlist_button tinvwl-icon-heart tinvwl-position-after tinvwl-loop" data-tinv-wl-list="[]" data-tinv-wl-product="6395" data-tinv-wl-productvariation="0" data-tinv-wl-productvariations="[]" data-tinv-wl-producttype="simple" data-tinv-wl-action="add"><span class="tinvwl_add_to_wishlist-text">Add to Wishlist</span></a></p> <div class="tinv-wishlist-clear"></div> <div class="tinvwl-tooltip">Add to Wishlist</div> </div>
