Yaz linked to serious health problems

Yaz, manufacted by Bayer, is a popular birth control pill. It was marketed not only as a contraceptive, but as a treatment for severe emotional and physical premenstrual symptoms and to treat moderate acne. The product also was sold by the brand name Yasmin or the generic name Ocella. However, studies show that Yaz may pose a particular health risk. It has been linked to cardiac events such as heart attack, stroke and pulmonary embolism. It also has been linked to gallbladder disease.
