Birth Control Pills Recalled for Incorrect Labeling; Unanticipated Pregnancy May Result

Birth Control Pills

The recall affects the following lots of Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol :

Drospirenone and Ethinyl Estradiol is an estrogen/progestin combination oral contraceptive indicated for the prevention of pregnancy. The tablets in the inner carton are arranged as 21 active yellow tablets followed by 7 placebo white tablets.

If you have any of the recalled birth control pills in your possession, you should not use them, and either discard them immediately or return them to the point of purchase for a replacement.

To date, no unintended pregnancies or other adverse events have been linked to the recalled birth control pills, FDA said.
