Yaz Injury Lawyers
Yaz lawyers across the nation are investigating injury lawsuits on behalf of women who have suffered serious injuries and death while taking the birth control pill, Yaz. Our lawyers for Yaz injuries have extensive experience in building, presenting and winning personal injury lawsuits for women who have suffered from severe Yaz side effects. Generically known as drospirenone, Yaz is a fourth generation birth control pill that may be used to treat moderate acne or premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a painful and crippling form of PMS.
Yasmin (generic: Ocella) is a variation of Yaz that contains a different amount of ethinyl estradiol. All are produced by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals and are only available via prescription.
Who Needs a Yaz Attorney?
Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are known to cause a variety of harmful, potentially fatal side effects, including:
- Blood clots
- Breast lumps
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), blood clots in the body's deep veins, generally the legs, that impair healthy circulation
- Gallbladder problems
- Heart attack
- Hyperkalemia, dangerously high levels of potassium in the blood
- Liver damage
- Pulmonary embolism (PE), blood clots lodged in the lungs that significantly interrupt respiration
- Stroke
- Symptoms of depression (sleeping problems, mood swings, lethargy)
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured after taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella birth control pills, you should consult with an experienced defective drug attorney who can help you recover compensation for your losses so you can pay for the treatments you need and move on with your life.
Our Yaz attorneys are also equipped to help families whose loved ones died from a severe side effect of Yaz. Because serious injury and death cases can be complicated and involved, it is important to seek legal counsel from an attorney who has experience in handling Yaz claims.
Who Is At Risk?
In most cases, Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella patients will experience minor (if any) side effects, such as breast tenderness, weight fluctuations and/or darkening of the facial skin. Women who are at a heightened risk of developing severe injuries from the birth control pills include those with a history of:
- Adrenal gland disorder
- Blood clot, stroke or circulation problems related to diabetes
- Breast, uterine or hormone-related cancers
- Heart disorders
- Jaundice (caused by contraceptive pills)
- Kidney disease
- Liver disease
- Migraines
- Uncontrolled hypertension
- Unusual vaginal bleeding
To minimize the risk of developing a severe injury, women who are thinking about switching to Yaz should discuss their complete medical history with their doctor.
