Yaz Blood Clots
Generically known as drospirenone, Yaz is an oral contraceptive that has been associated with causing blood clots. Also referred to as thrombus, blood clots are solid clumps of blood cells that block the healthy flow of blood throughout the body. While blood clots can cause swelling, redness and pain at the site of the clot, between 30 and 50 percent of patients living with blood clots experience no symptoms whatsoever.
Because blood clots can have life-threatening complications, women who develop blood clots after taking Yaz will have a legitimate legal claim against Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals. Prospective plaintiffs can learn more about their legal rights in a complimentary initial consult with an experienced Yaz birth control lawyer.
