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.
