Yaz/Yasmin, the top selling birth control pill in the U.S. is designed primarily to prevent pregnancy. However, Yaz/Yasmin has been marketed aggressively to women via television commercials as a treatment or cure for symptoms related to menstruation, acne and muscle cramps. Bayer HealthCare pharmaceutical s, the maker of Yaz/Yazmin has been advised to change its ads by the FDA due to misleading information. 27 attorneys general have joined the FDA in a complaint along with 32 lawsuits.
The danger in Yaz/Yasmin, stems from the synthetic hormone DRSP (Drospirenone). DRSP increases the potassium levels in users which are dangerous for people with Kidney, Adrenal or liver disease. High potassium levels can also cause serious heart conditions changes in acidity in the body and muscle weakness.
