FDA Notes Dangerous Side Effects of YAZ® Yasmin® Pills
In a letter admonishing Bayer about its misleading advertising, the FDA notes that the side effects of YAZ®/Yasmin® are more dangerous than those of other oral contraceptives because the drug contains drospirenone, a progestin that can elevate potassium levels in the blood. YAZ®/Yasmin® and its recently approved generic version is the only approved oral contraceptive to contain drospirenone.

Birth Control Pill YAZ® and Yasmin® May Increase Risk of Serious Injury Caused by Blood Clots
Drospirenone poses a problem to the body by increasing potassium levels, which in turn may create the metabolic condition known as hyperkalemia. Acute episodes of hyperkalemia are often triggered by medications unsettling the balance of potassium in cells, and may have life-threatening results. One such consequence is cardiac arrhythmia, a disturbance of the flow of blood through the heart, which may lead to the formation of blood clots. FDA records show that Since 2004 users of YAZ®/Yasmin® have experienced pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack and death.
