Yaz Side Effects Forum
Yaz Side Effects
One Health Forum, Multiple Injured Women
Most threads on internet message boards don’t last that long. Rampant discussion over things like the latest plot twist on Desperate Housewives only last until the next episode. Same with things like professional sports injuries, or even political scandals.
It isn’t surprising that our collective attention span has dropped, especially when you consider how quickly news and rumors circulate on the internet. As soon as something is new it is instantly on its way to becoming old.
But we recently came across a message board with a thread that has maintained a steady stream of posts and replies since the topic was first posted in June of 2007. The topic is entitled “Yaz Side Effects,” and it is on ehealthforum.com.
You can check the news and read about all the lawsuits that have been filed, and you can read about how the FDA has been cracking down on Bayer’s line of birth control pills, but if you really want to get an idea of how this faulty drug is impacting regular people like you or me, you should take a look at how this topic thread has progressed since it started.
The original post of the thread was this:
6/10/2007: “My OB/Gyn Just prescribed Yaz to me for adult acne…....I know BC has changed but I need to know if this YAZ is different......Anybody wanna share???.”
This initial post perfectly outlines one of the major concerns that the FDA had about Yaz. You will notice that this woman was not prescribed Yaz because of the birth control aspect, but rather because of the claims that Bayer made about how Yaz helps control acne. It was for this reason that Bayer was forced by the FDA to re-do their advertising in October of 2008.
One of the major dangers of this pill is that instead of using progestin as a standard ingredient, it is actually using a variation of progestin called disperenone. This ingredient has been shown to raise the potassium levels in the bloodstream, which can cause clotting. If you want an example of this, all you have to do is go four posts down on page one at the eHealth Forum:
7/30/2007: “…my 30 yr old daughter was put on Yaz in may -- she was into her second pack when her gyn took her off due to migraines…that evening she was rushed to hospital due to extreme pain in left lung, couldn't take complete breath and a cat scan showed multiple blood clots in both lungs.........”
Just under one year later:
7/2/2008: “I too was diagnosed with a bilateral pulmonary embolism just last Sunday and they presume it was a result of my using Yaz- started taking it in Feb. '08. while i was in the hospital my doctor told me he had 12 other girls, all under 35, non-smokers, active (not overweight), all on Yaz who were admitted within one week for clots in their lungs. 12 girls in one week, at one hospital!”
This particular post makes us re-think Bayer’s claim that these clots are only happening to certain people, i.e. only older women or women who smoke. So do these posts:
8/5/2008: “I took YAZ for 1 month and developed bilateral pulmonary emboli. I had 11 in my left lung and 10 in my right lung. I am 40 years old, don't smoke, and run 5 miles a day.”
8/15/2008: “I am a very active 23 year old that is in very good health…Dr put me on Yaz in March....June 8th I was put in the hospital because I had a mini stroke that was caused by the birth control they suspect.”
Bear in mind that all of these posts are only on page one. If you move further down the list the stories don’t get any better:
4/27/2009: “I started on Yaz on February 22, 2009. It was great I lost 4 pounds and felt great. Then 1 week into my second pack it all started. I felt dizzy, and passed out on the floor. 2 days later after exercising for 35 minutes, I could not get a good breath and it hurt from my back to my neck. The next day I was admitted in the ER with multiple pulmonary embolisms in my right lung. I was there for 8 days. I am now told I can no longer take any form of BC, and will be on Coumadin for at least 6 months.”
6/1/2009:“On May 15, 2009 my 34 year old cousin passed away because of blood clots due to Yaz birth control pills. She was very healthy, energetic, and a non-smoker. She had been on Yaz for 3 months and started suffering from major headaches. On the morning of May 11th, she experienced vomiting and became very nauseous. She walked into the emergency room and the doctors thought she had a urinary tract infection, until hours later they realized she had blood clots and said were caused by her birth control pills. The doctors couldn't believe a woman her age and in great shape would be suffering from blood clots. Yaz was the only medication she was on.”
There is obviously something very wrong going on here, and you don’t need to go through a series of FDA sanctions and tests to see the evidence of serious side effects of yaz. All you have to do is listen to the voices of people who are really suffering. Women who went to their doctors in good faith were prescribed yaz or yasmin, a pill that was poorly designed, poorly made and was marketed in an irresponsible and haphazard fashion.
