New OC: FDA says 'yes' to Yaz

The idea is to reduce monthly hormonal fluctuations compared to traditional OCs, which have regimens of 21 days of active pills and 7 days of placebo. Yaz hit the U.S. market in April. (Berlex had already been marketing Yasmin, a 21-day formulation pill.)

Upper respiratory infections, headache, yeast infection, and breast pain are among the drug's most common adverse effects. Patients who would like more information about Yaz can call 1-888-BERLEX-4 or visit the product Web site at http:// http://www.yaz.com/.
