 Yaz

Many individuals who were prescribed Yaz, Yasmin, Ocella or Gianvi and have suffered serious side effects including:

  • blood clots,
  • strokes,
  • deep vein thrombosis,
  • pulmonary embolism,
  • heart attacks,
  • gallbladder removal,
  • kidney failure,
  • pancreatic cancer or death.

Manufactures

The producers of Yaz and Yasmin have placed their importance earnings over safety when they marketed the birth control pills. The advertising campaigns for the two drugs in the last three years have severely minimized the critical risks of the oral contraceptives while at the same time exaggerating the benefits.

The direct and faulty advertising even raised red flags with the Food and Drug Administration forcing Bayer to run new advertisements clarifying the serious health risks of Yaz and Yasmin.

Unfortunately, the corrections are too late for many women who have already suffered serious side effects.

Lawsuits

Thousands of women and their families have filed lawsuits against the makers of Yaz, Yasmin and the generic versions Gianvi and Ocella/Zarah. If you or a family member took Yaz, you could be entitled to compensation.

Birth control medications were established in the 1960’s.  Since that time, there have only been four main types of progestin used. The progestin used in Yaz and Yasmin is called drospirenone, and is a new fourth-generation progestin.

However, because the progestin is new, there is not a lot of information to support claims that the hormone is safe when used in combination with estrogen to prevent pregnancy.

But, studies that have been performed, indicate that drospirenone, is  more dangerous than the typical progestins that are used to prevent pregnancy.

Drospirenone raises potassium levels, which may disrupt heart rhythms, or slow down blood flow, to allow the formation of clots.  Those blood clots can also cause pulmonary embolisms or even strokes.
