Yaz Birth Control Information

Yaz Birth Control (drospirenone/ethinyl estradiol) has become a hot topic of concern since the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discovered that commercials for yaz birth control pill have been including false information. As an answer to such false advertising, the FDA has demanded that Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals correct all previous marketing with a $20 million ad campaign.

False Advertising for Yaz Birth Control

According to reports, the birth control pill doesn’t do what its commercials have been claiming. For instance, according to the FDA, Yaz is not approved to do the following:

Cure pimples or facial acne
Get rid of PMS symptoms

Despite the fact that the birth control has not been approved for curing PMS and acne, its commercials have been claiming otherwise.

New Ads Required to List Yaz Side Effects

In addition to correcting the false statements mentioned above, the FDA has also required that Bayer include the long list of health risks associated with Yaz use in the new ad campaign. According to the FDA, previous commercials have been downplaying the very serious, potentially fatal Yaz side effects; reported Yaz side effects range from minor to extremely serious.

Some of the more minor health risks associated with Yaz use include:

Headaches
Decreased sex drive
Weight gain, increased appetite
Bleeding between periods
Vaginal discharge
Nausea and vomiting
Vaginal yeast infections

Depression or other emotional changes
High blood pressure (hypertension)
