What is Beyaz® prescribed for?
For women who choose the Pill for birth control, Beyaz is approved to:

Call your healthcare provider right away if you have:

  • Persistent leg pain; sudden shortness of breath; sudden blindness, partial or complete; severe pain in your chest; sudden, severe headache unlike your usual headaches; weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, or trouble speaking; yellowing of the skin or eyes.
