(PRLEAK) October 14, 2009 – The US Drug Watchdog cautions women against the use of birth control pills, Yaz and Yasmin. The pills are alleged to have harmful side effects that include cardiac arrests, and strokes, apart from a host of other complications. The group requests women to come forward and contact them on 866-714-6466 for further information or log on to their website at Http://USDrugWatchdog.Com. The widespread use of these pills can harm millions of women that use them as a form of contraception. In addition, the US Drug Watchdog group suggests the use of social media networks like facebook, and Myspace be used to spread the message.

US Drug Watchdog reiterates the fact that the FDA has issued notices to the manufacturer of Yaz & Yasmin, about their attempts to mislead the public through unfair advertising. The use of drospirenone, a hormone that works by causing changes in the uterus, has made the FDA classify it as being more harmful as compared to other contractpetives. Drospirenone increases the level of potassium in the blood, and is even present in the generic versions of Yaz & Yasmin.

Women that experience any medical side effects and other medical complications from Yaz & Yasmin are requested to contact Parker Waichman Alonso LLP on 1-800-529-4636 or on their website at www.yourlawyer.com. The US Drug Watchdog would like to make women more aware of the fact that Yaz & Yasmin contain the same amount of drosperinone, the only difference being that Yasmin contains more estradiol.

US Drug Watchdog rues the fact that Yaz & Yasmin became popular in spite of severe medical side effects. This is the group's biggest and most important pharmaceutical campaign for the protection of women across the United States. Users of the birth control pills Yaz & Yasmin need to be cautious and are requested to get in touch with the US Watchgroup immediately. Even those that may have suffered earlier and have gone of the pills are welcome to contact the group in order to document their grievances. They also urge women to spread the word around as much as possible in order to help others escape the harmful side effects of drosperinone.
