Yaz Litigation
Yaz litigation refers to personal injury lawsuits filed on behalf of women who claim to have sustained severe injuries after taking Bayer-produced Yaz birth control.
Yaz has been found to cause a number of severe side effects, which, in the worst cases, are life threatening. Injured Yaz patients will most likely have a legitimate legal claim against Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals in which they can seek compensation for their injuries. If you or a loved one has sustained serious injuries as a result of taking Yaz contraceptive pills and you feel that you may be in need of legal assistance, please contact a Yaz lawyer today.
Yaz Side Effects
Women taking Yaz are at an increased risk of developing serious side effects including:
- Blood clots
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), blood clots in the body's deep veins that hinder health blood flow
- Breast lumps
- Gallbladder problems
- Heart attack
- Hyperkalemia, dangerously high levels of potassium in the blood
- Liver damage
- Pulmonary embolism (PE), blood clots in the lungs that significantly impair breathing
- Stroke
- Symptoms of depression (sleeping problems, mood swings, lethargy)
Women with a history of any of these conditions, as well as those who smoke or are over 35 years old, will have the highest risk of developing the above injuries if they take Yaz. To reduce their risk, women considering taking Yaz should discuss their complete medical history with their doctor before starting a course of this birth control pill. Those who start taking Yaz should:
- Take the time to fully understand the types and symptoms of Yaz side effects (so they know when to seek emergency medical attention)
- Only take Yaz as directed
