Profits Over Public Safety - The Harm
The manufacturers of Yaz and Yasmin have put profits over safety in marketing these birth control pills. The advertising campaigns for Yaz/Yasmin in the last three years have consistently minimized the serious risks of these oral contraceptives while exaggerating the benefits. The direct-to-consumer advertising has even raised red flags with the FDA prompting Bayer to be required to run new ads clarifying the serious health risks of Yaz and Yasmin. Sadly, the corrections are too late for many women who have already suffered heart attacks, strokes, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, heart attacks or even death.
