"I took Yaz for several years and was put on the generic version of this by Sandoz, so I didn’t have to pay for birth control. Honestly, it has been awful. My acne is out of control, like I have never experienced before in my life. My emotions are all over the place, and I feel like I can’t control them. I also experience horrible menstrual pain and headaches. I really wish I could go back on Yaz because it worked much better than the generic version made by Sandoz."

Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium "I like this pill for the most part! I am taking it for many things, but mainly acne, it cleared up in a month! I have a lighter period and no cramps. The first period on it was irregular because my body had to get used to the hormones. It’s effective in protection and also helped with PMS. One thing I will say is that I struggled with nausea and food aversions to things I really used to love, but other than that, I like it :)"

Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium "I started birth control about a month ago for bad cramps and to regulate my period. I never really had bad acne before, but I've been on Beyaz for a month now, and my acne is bad. I have at least 4 large pimples on my face at all times, which I'm not used to. I don't know if I should stick it out and see if it gets better or if I should switch to a different birth control. Other than the acne, Beyaz is really helping with my periods. They last 3 days at the most and little to no cramps at all."

Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium "In the beginning, I was emotional and all over the place, and I also broke out. I am now near the three-end mark, and my skin has improved tremendously. I do have scars, and I've never been one to get scars from picking at pimples, but I'm not sure if the pills had something to do with it or if picking at them did. Other than that, all the side effects have subsided, and my skin is the clearest it has been in a long, long time!!"

Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium "Started this medicine for acne. I was on Tri-Sprintec previously, which was doing okay, but I began to have breakthrough bleeding for 3 weeks, so we switched, but the acne was improving great. One month into taking Beyaz, and I was shaking a lot, and my hands were very noticeable. My heart was beating out of my chest. I ended up sick and in Urgent Care (unrelated) and found my blood pressure was high. I began to follow this closely and found it stayed high, and the shaking, heart palpitations, and high blood pressure all come hand in hand as rare side effects of this medication. I stopped it, and by day 2, returned to normal. I began to have horrible migraines from stopping the medicine, though, and my acne wasn’t as clear on this as Tri-Sprintec."

Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium "I have been on Beyaz for the last 5 years. Early this year, my pharmacy mailed a 3-month supply of Rajani instead of Beyaz, and my face was flawless during those three months. After the 3 months were up, my pharmacy started mailing Beyaz again, and I have had very small breakouts (as I have during my Beyaz experience). I like Beyaz, as my acne is much better than it used to be, but I will be requesting my pharmacy to switch me to the generic Rajani, as it has been the best BC for acne for me so far."

Drospirenone / ethinyl estradiol / levomefolate calcium "Broke my face out horrible. Everywhere my face was covered with acne. I was on it for 4 months, and I regret it so much. I would only get a zit every now and then. I stopped the pill, my face is better, but I have horrible scarring everywhere. My face was so pretty, and this pill ruined it."
