Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are popular birth control pills that have been linked to alarming side-effects such as heart attacks and strokes. Reportedly, Drospirenone, the key ingredient in Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella is responsible for raising the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is important to note that according to some reports, no other birth control pill contains Drospirenone.

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella can cause strokes and heart attacks by creating abnormal blood clots. Ordinarily, blood clots serve the important function of stopping bleeding from cuts. Within the body, the blood clotting process repairs damage to the skin, blood vessels and other body tissues. It has been reported however, that the use of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella can result in unnecessary blood clotting within a blood vessel, vein or artery. If the blood clot causes a blockage near the heart, the clot can prevent blood flow from reaching the heart, resulting in a heart attack. If the blood clot creates a blockage in the brain, the blockage can cause a stroke. It has been suggested that the combination of chemicals and hormones in Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella can increase the risk of blood clots by more than 600%.
