Yaz Problems

Women of all ages have reportedly experienced problems while taking the birth control pill known as Yaz. Available via prescription since 2006, Yaz is an extremely effective birth control pill that is comprised of drospirenone and ethynil estradiol, a bioactive form of estrogen. Yaz is produced by Bayer HealthCare, and other oral contraceptives that contain the same chemical formulation as Yaz include Yasmin (Bayer Heatlhcare) and Ocella (Barr). In addition to its use as birth control, Yaz may also be prescribed to treat moderate acne and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

To be optimally effective, Yaz should be taken within four hours of the same time daily. Yaz pills are different than other types of birth control pills in that they come in a 24/4 cycle, in which the first 24 pills are active with hormones and the last 4 are placebos that allow for menstruation.

As with any prescription medication, it's essential that woman discuss their complete medical history with their physicians before starting a course of Yaz. In rare cases, women may have a high risk of developing serious Yaz side effects, and their doctors can help them find a safe alternative contraceptive.

Having Issues with Yaz Birth Control?

Women taking Yaz birth control pills should take the time to understand the symptoms of serious Yaz side effects so they know when to seek medical attention. Signs that a woman is experiencing severe, possibly life-threatening Yaz side effects include:

blurry vision
difficulty breathing and/or speaking
chest pain
lightheadedness
nausea and/or vomiting
pain in the jaw, neck or shoulders
paralysis on one side of the body
skin rash or hives
swelling of the face or tongue
swelling, redness and warmth in the legs

Upon developing any combination of these complications, women should seek emergency medical care to save their lives. The earlier Yaz side effects are discovered and treated, the more likely recovery will be an option.

Yaz Problems and Complications

Specific side effects Yaz has been reported to cause include:

adrenal insufficiency
blood clots and deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
breast, cervical or uterine cancer
depression
gallbladder disease
heart attack
kidney problems
liver disease or failure
stroke
severe allergic reaction

Women with a history of any of these conditions, as well as those older than 35 and those who smoke, will have the highest risk of developing these serious Yaz side effects.
