Is Yaz birth control safe? | Yaz injury lawsuit attorneys

Our Yaz injury lawsuit attorneys want readers to check out this great article entitled, "Yasmin: Is It Safe or Not?," from salon.com:

When it was first FDA approved in the early 1960s, the birth control pill, like most popularly ingested substances of the era, carried a relatively high risk of stopping your heart. It was called Enovid and the problem was its extreme concentration of estrogen. Concerned, researchers and the pharmaceutical companies who pay them set out to formulate a new, low-estrogen contraceptive chemical, and in 2000, Yasmin was born.

Since then, the Yasmin family's medical track record has been a frenzied, mercurial story of bliss and disaster, peppered with alarmist side effects and miraculous fountain-of-youth-iness. Some years, banner headlines announce the pill's cancer-thwarting powers. Other years, we 're told we're throwing tiny, pink grenades into our arteries. In light of this month's headline-making lawsuit against Yasmin by a 27-year-old stroke victim, we encourage you to step back from the hysteria of the moment to see a chronology of whiplash-inducing mixed messages that haunt many of us at the medicine cabinet every night.

2000 

Scientists at Berlex Laboratories formulate a new synthetic progestin called drospirenone. It's hailed as a "third generation" oral contraceptive that "has the potential to reduce body weight, blood pressure" and "has positive effects on weight and lipid levels," all while relieving "menstrually related symptoms." All the Berlex scientists do super-exploding fist-bumps and shout, "Huzzah!" several times in unison.

2001

The FDA approves Yasmin, the world's first drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol combination birth control pill. The Journal of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine publishes a study saying that the Yasmin cocktail does everything the Berlex study purported, and it gives women lighter, shorter and less painful periods. Ladies rejoice.

Stay tuned for Part II.
