| New Warning of Blood Clot Risk for YAZ and Yasmin |
The Associated Press is reporting that Bayer HealthCare, "[i]n cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration," has added new warnings about the risk of blood clots that come with using YAZ and Yasmin oral contraceptives. At present, the exact wording of the new warnings has not been reported. In all likelihood, Bayer's warning change was made out of concern that the FDA would order a label change if Bayer did not do so on its own.
YAZ, Yasmin, and Ocella (the generic form of Yasmin) are birth control pills that contain a synthetic progestin called drospirenone, which some studies indicate has double the risk of blood clots compared to other birth control pills. Numerous women have suffered from YAZ, Yasmin and Ocella side effects, including pulmonary embolism (PE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), strokes, and gallbladder disease.
