- Nausea/vomiting
- Abdominal pain

In recent studies, Dianette products have been linked to more serious injuries. In particular, the drug has been linked to the occurrence of fatal blood clots (pulmonary embolism), resulting in serious injury or death.

In most cases, liability for Dianette injuries can be based on a negligence claim.
