Yasmin pills may cause certain health problems

Yasmin pills are considered unsafe by many women our firm has spoken with. To tell us your story, please complete the form below.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there are several warnings that women should be aware of with the use of YAZ and Yasmin pills. They include venous and arterial thrombotic and thromboembolic events (such as myocardial infarction, thromboembolism, stroke), hepatic neoplasia, gallbladder disease, and hypertension.

The Agency also points out that YAZ and Yasmin pills carry additional risks because they contains the progestin, drospirenone.

Drospirenone has certain chemical properties that can lead to hyperkalemia in high-risk women.

This may result in potentially serious heart and health problems.

The FDA also advises that women taking YAZ or Yasmin pills should be concerned about the drug interactions that could increase potassium, in addition to the drug interactions common to all combination birth control pills.
