Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella

product yaz Yaz, Yasmin, and OcellaOral contraceptives are used by tens of millions of women each year. The FDA issued an October 2008 warning letter to Bayer to pull misleading ads that overstated the efficacy of the contraceptive drugs Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella. The ads, the FDA warned, also minimized the risks associated with those drugs.

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella (the generic form of the drug) all contain drospireone, which other oral contraceptives do not. Research shows that drospirenone leads to a higher risk of blood clots. These blood clots may lead to such adverse health effects as heart attack, stroke and the development of pulmonary embolism. Use of Yaz, Yasmin, or Ocella may also lead to gallbladder disease and pancreatitis.
