The NuvaRing may induce a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in some users, a population of women of childbearing age not normally prone to this medical event. "Cerebrovascular accident" is the medical term for what is colloquially known as a stroke.

The Death of Brain Tissue

In a cerebrovascular accident, the blood that normally flows to the brain is stopped by a blockage (a blood clot) or by a ruptured blood vessel, and the resulting lack of oxygen carried to the brain by the blood causes the death of brain tissue.

Cerebrovascular Accidents Statistics

• About one-third of all cerebrovascular accidents in the U.S. are fatal
• CVA is the leading cause of disability in the U.S.
• The third leading cause of death in the U.S. is cerebrovascular accident

Cerebrovascular Accidents from Blood Clot Risk

These sobering statistics highlight the serious nature of the link between NuvaRing and cerebrovascular accidents. There is a higher-than-normal risk of a blood clot forming when a woman is using a NuvaRing (a third-generation contraceptive that contains the synthetic hormone desogestrel).

Desogestrel is the reason that NuvaRing blood clots are twice as likely to develop from using the contraceptive (compared to second-generation contraceptives like the Pill), according to the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen, which called upon the FDA to immediately ban the use of NuvaRing.

Lawsuits Regarding NuvaRing's Side Effects

About one and a half million women around the world use a NuvaRing. Although NuvaRing is a relatively new contraceptive (approved by the FDA in 2001), many lawsuits have already been filed regarding NuvaRing side effects, which include:

• Cerebrovascular accidents
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Pulmonary embolism, and
• Liver tumors

Symptoms of a Cerebrovascular Accident

If you have been using a NuvaRing and you experience the following cerebrovascular accident symptoms, seek medical attention immediately, and be sure to tell the medical staff that you have been using a NuvaRing:

• Difficulty speaking, slurring words
• Difficulty swallowing
• Facial drooping
• Headache
• Loss of consciousness
• Mental confusion
• Seizures
• Vertigo
• Vision problems
• Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body

If You Have Experienced a NuvaRing Cerebrovascular Accident

If you or someone you know has suffered a NuvaRing Cerebrovascular accident, you may be eligible to recover compensation for damages including medical costs, lost wages, physical pain and disfigurement, and emotional pain and suffering.
