Yaz Heart Attack

Am I at Greater Risk of Heart Attack From Yaz?

If you smoke while taking any birth control pill, your risk of heart attack and stroke greatly increases. If you have a history of heart problems or a prior stroke, you should not have been prescribed Yasmin or Yaz.

Additionally, if you have one or more of the following conditions, you may be at increased risk of heart attack and stroke as a result of taking the contraceptive Yaz:

• Renal insufficiency
• Hepatic dysfunction
• Adrenal insufficiency

Women taking drugs that increase potassium in the blood should be careful to avoid Yaz and other combined-hormone contraceptives, as taking the birth-control pills along with those other drugs can lead to dangerously high potassium levels and severe health complications.
