These Commonly Missed Diagnoses Are Particularly Relevant To Women Using YAZ, Yasmin, And Ocella, As Well As NuvaRing And Ortho Evra<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The November 9, 2009 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine<\/em> included an article, “Diagnostic Error in Medicine — Analysis of 583 Physician-Reported Errors”<\/a>, which should be of particular interest to women using the following birth control products: YAZ \/ Yasmin \/ Ocella; NuvaRing; and, Ortho Evra.<\/p>\n

The reason for their likely interest, or concern, involves the combination of two facts.<\/p>\n

First, this survey of doctors found that adverse drug reactions and pulmonary embolism are the two most common diagnostic errors committed or observed by those doctors.<\/p>\n

Second, thromboembolic events such as pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are adverse reactions that have been associated with these several birth control methods.<\/p>\n

To learn more about the adverse drug reactions aspect of this matter — in particular, the increased risk developing of blood clots that can cause a pulmonary embolism — we offer these resources:<\/p>\n
