Some birth control pills have been pulled from the market in other countries over DVT concerns. Should I be worried about taking Yasmin?
Feb 5, 2013

Dr. Karim Nawfal Obstetrics & Gynecology
The pill you are talking about is a certain type of pills that is under investigation in France because of the risks of DVT (clots in the veins)
However orher contraceptives are safe to use if you have been properly evaluated by your doctor for contraindications to these pills.
To keep things in perspective you need to know that the evidence till now shows that the risk of having DVT with contraceptive pills is less than the risk of having DVT because of pregnancy.
