A member asked:
What can i do if my obgyn has prescribed me yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) to help with my pmt, cramps and bloating, is it safe to take?

Yes: The issues around Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) are an ever so slight, slight, slight increase in risk of blood clot. There's background risk of blood clot in all combined oral contraceptives. The risk with Yaz (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) is 1 in 1000, risk with a non-yaz product is 1 in 2000.. Those are rounded figures. I'm sure your doctor evaluated your own personal risk of blood clot. Non smoker, nl weight, nl cholesterol, nl blood pressure.
