Yasmin (Yaz)

Yasmin (also known as Yaz/drospirenone/ethinyl Estradiol. Generic : Ocella) is a birth control pill developed and manufactured by Bayer, AG. The medicine works by disrupting a woman's natural menstrual cycle and providing a daily dose of hormones to regulate a new menstrual cycle. Bayer AG has been involved in a few discussions with the Food and Drug Administration over questionable advertising campaigns seeming to suggest that Yasmin/Yaz has less side effects than other contraceptive medications. Recent reports indicate that dangerous side effects could occur in women with preexisting conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity.

Close to 25,000 Yasmin & Yaz Lawsuits filed in East St. Louis

Close to 25,000 contraceptive lawsuits were filed against Bayer Corp., the maker of the birth control Yaz and Yasmin in a federal courthouse in East St. The pre-trial proceedings include lawsuits from women across the country alleging the pill causes an increased rick for strokes, heart attacks, pulmonary embolism, thrombosis, cardiac arrhythmia, gallbladder disease, kidney failure and sudden death. Although many of these side effects are risks associated with other birth control pills, they have occurred at a substantially higher rate among women who were taking Yaz, Yasmin or the generic version of the drug, Ocella, compared to women who took other forms of the pill. read more

FDA's Yasmin Hearing Faces Conflict of Interest

The FDA seemed on the right track by requesting a hearing to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the birth control pill Yasmin, also known as Yaz or Ocella. In a close 15-11 vote, the panel chose to keep Yasmin, Yaz and other drospirenone containing oral contraceptives on the market or issue a black box warning, the most severe warning the FDA can impose on medication. Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler stated that in his opinion, "the FDA advisory committee was not independent of Bayer, and its recommendations and votes need to be viewed as such." Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella have been linked to serious cardiovascular complications, including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolisms, stroke and gall bladder damage. read more
