FDA WARNINGS OF SERIOUS RISKSThe FDA mandated the pharmaceutical manufacturers of Yaz and Yasmin, Bayer Healthcare, and Berlex Laboratories, to change its warnings to adequately advise women of its serious risks and misleading the public. For medical animation of the serious side effects, click our law firm medical videos below: On July 10, 2003, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Berlex Laboratories, ordering it to immediately discontinue a misleading television ad for Yasmin. The FDA objected to the characterization that the drug component, drospirenone, was a benefit compared to the progestin used in other oral contraceptives, stating, “FDA is not aware of substantial evidence or substantial clinical experience demonstrating that Yasmin is superior to others or that the drospirenone in Yasmin is clinically beneficial. On the contrary, FDA is aware of the added clinical risks associated with drospirenone . . .” Further, FDA found that the advertisement “fails to communicate that the potential to increase potassium is a risk” or that “increased serum potassium can be dangerous.” On October 3, 2008, again, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to Bayer, for another false and misleading advertisement concerning Yaz. The FDA found that Bayer was attempting to broaden the indication for Yaz to include PMS (premenstrual syndrome), as opposed to the less serious condition of PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder. SAFER ALTERNATIVES AVAILABLE The business of drugs in the United States is highly competitive and worth billions of dollars. Unfortunately, some pharmaceutical companies are hastily introducing, overpromoting and marketing new drugs prematurely and without adequate warnings, resulting in tragic losses that could have been avoided.
