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 severely injured after using NuvaRing will have a legal claim against Organon and will be entitled to a settlement for their injuries and losses. Prospective plaintiffs can find out if they have a case by meeting with an experienced NuvaRing lawyer who will evaluate the unique circumstances.
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).

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.

In most cases, health care provider will want to thoroughly examine women taking NuvaRing on an annual basis to monitor their health and detect the signs of serious conditions – such as ovarian cancer – in their early stages.
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 be entitled to compensation from Organon.
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.
