YAZ is a unique combination birth control pill because it contains 24 days of hormone pills, followed by 4 days of placebo tablets. This oral contraceptive option may offer women fewer hormone fluctuations than the traditional 21 days of active pills in a typical 28 day pack. Yaz is also the only birth control pill tha has also been FDA approved to treat the emotional and physical premenstrual symptoms that are severe enough to impact the lives of women who choose the pill for contraception. The latest TV commercial advertizing Yaz features the classic track "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister. Hmm...I hope they are referring to the symptoms, not the pill!
