New York Times Reports on Yaz & Yasmin Birth Control Problems

Tweet

On September 25, 2009, The New York Times published an article titled, “Health Concerns Over Popular Contraceptives.”

BIRTH CONTROL BLOOD CLOT UPDATE: 4/25/11
Two new British Medical Journal (BMJ) studies have confirmed that Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella and other new ‘fourth generation’ birth control medications significantly increase the risk of blood clots over those taking older birth control products. The results of the studies highlight the well known fact that the mix of hormones needed to prevent pregnancy also promote clotting factors.

The article focuses on discussing the life-threatening side effects of Yaz and Yasmin, both top-selling oral contraceptives and manufactured by Bayer HealthCare. In addition, the authors report on published medical studies of the birth control pills, recently filed Yaz lawsuits and Yazmin lawsuits, as well as report on the U.S. Food & Drug Administration’s (FDA) requests to the manufacturer to correct misleading television commercials and to follow proper quality control procedures, which has not been occurring.
