I am taking the contraceptive pill Yaz. Is it dangerous for my health? Should I switch to a different one?

The contraceptive pill Yaz has been extensively reviewed by health authorities and studies have shown that the risk of blood clots associated with this type of birth control is low. It is actually lower than the risk associated with pregnancy, childbirth, and immediate postpartum. Therefore, if you are healthy, under 35, without specific health conditions, and are tolerating the pill well, there is no need to change your current contraception. However, if you have any health conditions or concerns, it is important to discuss them with your pharmacist or doctor to ensure the safety of your chosen method of contraception. Remember, there are alternative contraceptive options available if you are still unsure or have specific health concerns.
