| No. Yasmin is not recommended for emergency contraception. While high doses of Yasmin might work well as emergency contraception, the exact dose needed has not been determined or studied. Besides Plan B, which is the brand especially designed for emergency contraception, certain other brands of oral contraceptives may be used in certain doses for emergency contraception.
Plan B emergency contraception is now available over the counter for women 18 and older. Plan B and other forms of contraception are also available by prescription for all women. Contact your local Planned Parenthood at 1-800-230-PLAN to get EC or to get a prescription for EC if you are younger than 18. You may also get EC at your local pharmacy if you are older than 18.
