Available in the U.S. since 2001, NuvaRing® is a vaginal contraceptive ring that, when used as directed, is over 98 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. Upon insertion of NuvaRing, this method of contraception slowly delivers low doses of estrogen and progestin over a three-week period.
NuvaRing® is produced and distributed by Organon.
Regardless of its efficacy at preventing pregnancy, however, NuvaRing® is associated with some serious, potentially fatal side effects, including blood clots, stroke and heart attack.
Women who believe they have been injured by the NuvaRing® may be entitled to seek and recover compensation for their injuries. Prospective plaintiffs can find out if they have a case by meeting with a NuvaRing® lawyer who will evaluate the unique circumstances of their case.
To use NuvaRing, women have to vaginally insert the flexible plastic ring and keep it inserted for three weeks. The vaginal muscles will securely hold NuvaRing® in place (even during exercise or intercourse).
Rarely, NuvaRing® has been reported to fall out, particularly while women are:

Typically, women will have to use NuvaRing® for two months before their ovulation cycles normalize. Additionally, NuvaRing® is known to have a lower incidence (than other forms of contraception) of causing bleeding between periods.

Despite the benefits associated with using NuvaRing®, however, this contraception is known – on rare occasion – cause some severe side effects, including:
Without immediate treatment, these NuvaRing® side effects can have fatal complications. Consequently, it's vital that women seek emergency medical treatment should they start developing symptoms of any of the above-listed conditions.
Women seriously injured after using NuvaRing® will most likely be entitled to seek compensation for their losses by filing a NuvaRing® lawsuit. If you believe you may need legal assistance, please contact us today.
The first step to obtaining a NuvaRing® settlement is meeting with an experienced defective drug attorney to:
To encourage these injured women to stand up for their legal rights, NuvaRing® attorneys work on contingency – so no payment for legal services will be due until (or unless) the case is settled.
