Yasmin contraceptive pill - Germany

Anyone here taking Yasmin pill?
Whats the price in Germany?
Where should I get it?
I was prescribed this birth-control pill back in Mexico... is my prescription valid in Germany?
Any suggestions on what to do or where to get it will be more than welcome.

Thanks guys!!!

I don't think your prescription will be valid in Germany.

I am not sure if they are all the same but I pay about 35€ for 6 months supply of mine (Microgynon).

You need to go first to your GP (Hausarzt) who will transfer you to a Gynecologist (Frauenarzt). Take a copy of the piece of paper that comes with the box with ingredients on (this is called Beipackszettel in German and I cannot think of English translation). The Doc will then check if the pill has same name and ingredients in the German market. It might just have a different name.

The GP will give you a prescription for 1 month maybe if you can't get to Gynecologist in time but in the future you'll need to go there every six months for a check up and to get prescription.

OH and for a Gynecologist I'd recommend this practice on Schillerstr. if you are in Frankfurt. I have always been happy with everyone I saw there.

If this is too far away I am sure GP could recommend somewhere.

You can get it here, I take that, but the pharmacist won't take an out of country prescription.

Thanks!
And what about those online pharmacy sites where you dont need any prescription? Anyone tried these before?

every 6mo? not once a year!?!?!?
ugh another reason on my list of why i'm leery to move back there (once a year to the gyn. is more than enough for me!)

never tried it, but not sure about it.
Some of them aren't real. I know for some pet meds they make stuff up and sell it in what appears to be original packing, but none of it is. If something were to happen I know some companies will only honor it or help pay for things (doctor or whatever you need if something goes wrong) if you get it from a credible retailer so i'd make sure they have something backing them and you don't take any site from a web search.

I don't know about those to be honest. It seems like a bit of a risk with delivery times if you need them straight away.

Yes every 6 months! You only get the 6 month prescription if you have a check up. Otherwise they only give you 3 months supply. I don't really mind it - just think it is not as bad as the dentist (well for me anyway!)

they're both awful!!!
i have both appointments coming up in the next few months-dreading both!

both are equally as uncomfortable- just in different ways.

oh my God... things are easier back home.. but anyway...
I'm in Kassel, any idea on where to go to get my prescription?
And where can I find english speaking doctors as well.

Do you know any other contraceptive methods?
Thanks guys

Here you go: Birth control (a.k.a. contraception).

Let me rephrase this...

Can you recommend another method?

Just so cool to watch the girlies interact, sorry, no good advice.

Just nice to see something that couldn't happen between guys.

LOL

Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder.

What do you need another method for? If you have been taking the contraceptive pill and having no problems with it then why mess your body up? It is actually better to go to the Gynecologist ok might be unpleasant but surely better than discovering you might have cervical cancer when it is too late? I have never understood why women don't go at all!

This is a good link for looking for a Hausarzt in Kassel and I wouldn't worry am pretty certain that no Doctor can get through a degree in medicine nowadays without being able to speak English. Good luck
