It is incomprehensible that in this day and age the drug companies would introduce products that are less safe than earlier generations. Yaz creates elevated potassium levels in the women's body which leads to a host of internal problems. This is the first birth control that is causing young women to have diseased gall bladders which results in removal of it.

Bayer Blames the Victims!

FD (Fair Disclosure) Wire reported on 4/29/10 that Arthur Higgins, Chairman of Bayer Healthcare, said during the 2010 Bayer Earnings Conference Call: "We are clearly disappointed that good science and good medicine have been trumped by opportunistic fear-mongering by litigation lawyers. We are, as you mentioned, doing our best to address this. We believe the measures that we have in place [a new drug called Yaz Plus] will make a difference... unfortunately we still see a lot of this negative [Yaz] advertising by litigation lawyers. "

News Flash back to Bayer - its not the lawyers that are making women die, have strokes, DVT's and having their gall bladders removed - its the product.
