Beyaz Birth Control Side Effects Lead to More Lawsuits

Beyaz received its approval for Beyaz from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2010. However, unlike birth control options from previous generations, Bayer contains a synthetic progestin called drospirenone. Other birth control pills also contain this hormone, including Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella, and they too have been linked with these very same potentially life-threatening side effects.

Beyaz Blood Clots: A Serious Side Effect

One of the most serious side effects Beyaz has been linked to is the formation of blood clots in the deep veins of the user’s legs. If the blood clots remain there, they can lead to a very serious condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Another serious risk is having the blood clots break away and travel to other parts of the body through the bloodstream. If they wind up in the heart, the blood clots can clog an artery or pump and cause a heart attack. If the blood clot travels to the lungs, it can lead to a condition known as pulmonary embolism (PE). These blood clots can also block arteries supplying blood to the brain and cause a stroke.

All of these conditions are very serious and require medical attention immediately.

The British Medical Journal published a study this past year indicating that women taking birth control containing drospirenone, like Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella, and Beyaz, have 3 times the side effect risk of developing conditions like deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms in comparison to those who took a birth control pill from a previous generation.

Other Beyaz Side Effects

Beyaz has also been linked to an increased side effect risk of developing gallstones. This can result in the gallbladder becoming inflamed as well as enlarged. It is still unclear how or why Beyaz causes gallstones but there is a guess that it is because of the increased hormone level the birth control option causes for the user.

When you have gallstones it also can mean the side effect victim will have digestive issues as well as severe pain in the abdomen. These side effects require surgery in about 50% of all cases.
