At least 50 deaths linked to popular birth control products

Several widely-used birth control products—Yasmin (also sold as Yaz or Ocella) and NuvaRing—have been linked to serious circulatory problems, including

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Venous Thromboembolism (VTE)
  • Liver tumors
  • Death

Since 2004, at least 50 deaths have been reported in women taking Yasmin and similar contraceptives. Some of these women were as young as 17. A key ingredient in these drugs can raise blood potassium levels and cause severe circulatory side-effects and galbladder disease. Women with high blood potassium, kidney or liver impairment, or adrenal gland problems should not take Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella. Women who are obese, diabetic, or have chronic high blood pressure should also avoid these contraceptives.

NuvaRing has been associated with several serious side effects, including blood clots, strokes and pulmonary embolism. The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has warned that, because of the increased risk of thromboembolic and thrombotic disease associated with use of NuvaRing, it should not be used in women with valvular heart disease and thrombogenic complications.

Yaz advertisements draw repeated FDA warnings

Bayer, the manufacturer of Yaz, received FDA warnings in 2003 and 2008 for both overstating the benefits and minimizing the serious safety risks of Yaz. Federal laws prohibit drug companies from promoting unapproved uses of a drug. In 2009 Bayer was required to run a $20 million advertising campaign to correct previous misleading Yaz advertisements.
