Low Dose Birth Control Pill- Day of Reckoning Approaches
The popular low dose birth control pills Yaz and Yasmin which contain the synthetic progestin, drospirenone, will take centre stage at the FDA’s public hearings on Dec. 8th. when the FDA’s reproductive health and drug safety committee will be looking at the safety of this relatively ‘new’ type of progestin.
We all want to know - do low dose birth control pills containing drospirenone increase the risk of blood clots by 74% when compared to other birth control pills on the market?
I’ll post the results of the hearings but in the meantime this link is worth a visit now as the first civil lawsuit launches in Canada against the manufactures of Yasmin, Bayer Inc. .The comments on the article are worth reading too but persevere to page two.
Other low dose birth control pills containing the same dosage (3 mg) of drospirenone as Yaz/Yasmin are:
- Ocella
- Safyral
- Syeda
- Zarah
- Beyaz
- Gianvi
- Loryna
