Yaz is a popular oral contraceptive pill that is taken by millions of women around the world every year. As of late, Yaz has been associated with certain serious Yaz side effects and possibly life-threatening injuries. Women taking Yasmin, or its generic form Ocella, have reportedly suffered strokes, heart attacks, among other serious health problems. And adding to the already rising scrutiny, the Food & Drug Administration has sanctioned the makers of Yaz and Yasmin for misleading television ads that did not properly informing consumers regarding the conditions the contraceptiions were meant to treat.
Among the other tilts surrounding Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella birth control, the contraceptives also contain drospirenone, a component not in other oral contraceptives. The British Medical Journal issued studies in August 2009 showing a higher risk of venous blood clots in women taking drospirenone as opposed to those who took other oral contraceptives. In the same month, the Food & Drug Administration issued an non-related warning letter to Bayer Pharmaceuticals, makers of Yaz, for using low-quality batches of drospirenone from a plant in Germany. For the benefit of public interest and well-being, these articles have been made available free on the web.
Lesser know birth control side effects such as SVT (Supraventricular tachycardia) and organ injury or failure (Gallbladder, Pancreas, Liver, Kidney) have also been reported as a result of using Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz. With the research available on online, it is more crucial than ever to arm yourself with knowledge before determining if a pharaceutical is right for you. Something as ever-present as ‘the pill’ can cause serious damage or even kill you if you are not mindful.
