Yasmin, Yaz, and Ocella

Closer look at Yasmin, Zaz and Ocella birth control

Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella are birth control pills containing drospirenone, which is linked to an increased risk of blood clots. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is evaluating the risks of drospirenone, which is a type of hormone called progestin.

The FDA warned Yaz and Yasmin manufacturer Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. about the potential liability in marketing these oral contraceptives. (Barr Laboratories Inc. distributes Ocella).
