Does Yaz Cause Headaches?

Much has been already written about Yaz and its side effects. A fourth-generation oral contraceptive, Yaz is generally safe and effective. Nonetheless, side effects of Yaz are an issue for some patients, for whom these side effects can impact their health and quality of life. The most frequent side effects of Yaz are:

Nausea

Vomitting

Breast tenderness

Weight fluctuations

Yaz headaches

Abdominal pain

Liver and kidney diseases

Hair loss

Blood clots risk

While some Yaz side effects are not life-threatening, they can still affect quality of life and health issues, including Yaz-related headaches. In fact, Yaz-related headaches are considered to be one of the most frequent side effects. While many women taking Yaz suffer from Yaz headaches of some degree, some women experience insignificant headaches, while others experience severe migraines that impact their way of life. These migraines are sometimes severe and can also be compounded by Yaz headache dizziness and nausea caused by the combination of hormones contained in Yaz.

While doctors have observed a connection between Yaz and headaches and those headaches are sometimes quite severe, this side effect is generally most common during the patient’s first Yaz cycles. However, if your headache is too severe and is accompanied by Yaz-related nausea, vomitting, vision problems and loss of orientation, you should immediately contact your doctor, since the above mentioned problems may be the symptoms of the stroke.

In case you have experienced severe headaches when taking Yaz and those headaches regularly interfere with your life, you may wish to consider a legal claim against Yaz manufacturer Bayer Health Care Pharmaceuticals Co.
