Daily Dose: FDA Says Birth Control Not As Effective; New Drug To ...

The Food and Drug Administration said birth control pills are safer, however, they are not as good at preventing pregnancy.

On Wednesday, advisers to the FDA recommended that the pills be allowed to stay on the market.

The pills made today contain smaller amounts of hormones, which means fewer complications including blood clots and cardiovascular risks.

However, the change has led to a slightly higher pregnancy rate.

The FDA panel said the pills are good for women that take them to reduce acne or regulate their periods.

Almost 12 million American women currently take birth control pills.

U.S. FDA OKs Bayer Oral Contraceptive

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a new use of Bayer Schering Pharma AG's drug YAZ to allow it to be used to treat moderate acne in women who also want to use an oral contraceptive for birth control, the company said Monday.

With the approval, YAZ becomes the first oral contraceptive approved by the FDA for three distinct uses, Bayer said in a statement. In addition to being approved for birth control use and now for acne control, it is also approved to treat the emotional and physical symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder.

"YAZ is the fastest growing oral contraceptive brand in the U.S.," said Phil Smits, head of Bayer Schering Pharma's women's healthcare unit. "We are convinced that through its unique features, YAZ will further strengthen our worldwide leading market position in the field of female contraception."
