These drugs have been linked to serious health problems including but not limited to:

  • Stroke,
  • Heart Attack
  • Blood Clots
  • Deep Veing Thrombosis (DVT)
  • Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
  • Elevated blood potassium, a/k/a “hyperkalemia” (a condition caused by abnormally high concentration of potassium in the blood). This can lead to serious heart rythym problems
  • Increased risk of breast cancer

Unfortunately, it is often healthy young women that are affected by these drugs. It is always sad when someone suffers a stroke, heart attack, embolism or other cardiac event, but when it is a young woman it is even more tragic.
