"i have been on yasmin from 2010 till now. it helped clear my acne, though i used other prescribed medication as well. it helped clear my acne to an extent, still get fine pimples. my left foot started swelling 6 years ago, now the right foot started, to an extent i can&#039;t walk. been to the doc and he advised to change my contraceptive pill. this is the second case. medicine affects you in the long run."
