U.S. HEALTH ADVISERS RECOMMEND REVISING THE WARNING LABELS ON NEWER FORMS OF ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES.

A FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ADVISORY PANEL VOTED IN FAVOR OF NEW LABELS FOR CONTRACEPTIVES CONTAINING DROSPIRENONE (dro-spir-a-none).
THE MAN-MADE PROGESTIN MAY INCREASE CHANCES OF DANGEROUS CLOTS IN THE LEGS AND LUNGS ... COMPARED TO OLDER FORMS OF BIRTH CONTROL PILLS.
SEVERAL DOCTORS SAID IN ADVANCE OF THE HEARING THE POTENTIAL INCREASED RISK OF CLOTS IS NOT GREAT... BUT THEY ADDED IT SHOULD NOT BE DISMISSED EITHER.
IN A STATEMENT BAYER SAYS THEY'VE CONSISTENTLY WORKED WITH REGULATORY AUTHORITIES AROUND THE WORLD AS NEW DATA ON DROSPIRENONE HAS BECOME AVAILABLE... AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
THE PANEL'S RECOMMENDATION STILL NEEDS F-D-A APPROVAL.
USUALLY THE F-D-A FOLLOWS THE PANEL'S ADVICE.
