hi,
i was just wondering if anyone on yasmin has ever had any problems with thier potassium levels? do have to monitor what you eat? has anyone had to change their diets because of this pill?

I don't know anyone that has their blood tested while on Yasmin. They say it "CAN" increase your potassium because it contains a progestin hormone called drospirenone. Drospirenone can increase potassium in your blood.
High potassium causes kidney failure.

I had a kidney stone while I was on yasmin that I believe was due to screwed up potassium but they never tested my blood so I can't prove it.
