Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella Birth Control Pills

Yaz is a prescription birth control pill manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals. As with other birth control pills, Yaz , Yasmin and Ocella  contain the hormones estrogen and progestin in order to prevent pregnancy. The progestin used in Yaz,  Yasmin, and Ocella  however, is dropsirenone, which has been linked to serious medical conditions  in medical studies.

Serious side effects found to be associated with  dropsirenone as contained in Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella birth control pills include:

• heart attack,
• stroke,
• deep vein thrombosis,
• pulmonary embolism,
• blood clots,
• abnormal heart rhythm,
• gall bladder injury, and
• death.

Due to the  potentially serious and  life-threatening dangers associated with Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella  side effects should be immediately evaluated by a doctor.

Currently neither the FDA nor the manufacturer has issued a Yaz recall and it remains one of the most popular birth control pills.
