Healthy adult women have died after taking the Diane-35 pill. Why is the pill not being withdrawn from the market, some people wonder.
Taking Diane-35 off the market is also not without risks, Minister of Health Edith Schippers pointed out to us on Tuesday.
Risks
Women taking Diane-35 would then have to switch to another pill and there are also risks involved. In addition, there is a chance that the number of unwanted pregnancies will increase, with a risk of thrombosis.
Interests
Research is being done on Diane-35 at European level. SP MP Henk van Gerven does not agree with Edith Schippers. He believes that action should be taken in the interests of young women and that there should be no hiding behind all kinds of procedures.
Do you think the Diane-35 should be withdrawn from the market?
