Hello!

I’d love some advice/opinions on the contraceptive pill called Yaz Flex. I’ve recently been prescribed this pill after years on Diane. I’ve since heard some alarming side effects caused by Yaz such as stroke and heart attack and wanted to know if anyone has experienced or heard the same. What are some side effects of the contraceptive pill?

  • It’s always good to know about possible side effect, but it doesn’t mean that everyone will get these side effects. When a medication is prescribed it’s always good to review it regularly with the prescriber, or seek advice when you’ve concerns.
    The side effects you mention are indeed in the list, but I would say they’re more rare

  • I haven’t tried this one but the side effects are listed in the packet and some of them not pleasant!


  • I have also heard some bad stuff about Yaz too. We really need to be do careful with long term medications if any kind


  • I found it made my skin worse


  • I was in yasmin years ago put on weight, spotted daily, got terrible mood swings and shocking period pain


  • I couldn’t take it because I’m prone to DVT’s (blood clots) and the pill was too risky. My cousin has been on tax though with no ill side effects what so ever


  • there are some good comments here


  • it is best to ask doctor


  • you need to voice your concerns to your doctor, he will advise you re side effects risks


  • I think they r all about the same…. They hv to write that stuff… I wouldn’t worry


  • Hope you found the answers you were looking for.


  • Your doctor would be the best person to talk to about this


  • Pharmacists are pretty knowledgable when it comes to side effects and how to minimise them


  • did you end up talking to the doctor?


  • I always discuss with the doctor what possible side effects might be
