Pennsylvania Yaz Birth Control Lawsuit

First introduced in 2001, Yaz is a daily oral contraceptive pill that has been proven effective in:

Preventing pregnancy more than 99 percent of the time
Treating moderate acne in females older than 14 years old
Treating premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a more painful type of PMS that may be accompanied by migraines, insomnia, mood swings and bloating

Unfortunately, Yaz has been reported to cause a range of mild to life-threatening side effects, including stroke, heart attack and liver damage. Also produced by Bayer HeathCare Pharmaceuticals, Yasmin (generic: Ocella) is also linked to serious health risks.

Yaz/Yasmin Side Effects & FDA Warnings

To date, the most serious side effects associated with Yaz Birth Control and Yasmin include:

blood clots
deep vein thrombosis (DVT), in which blood clots impair healthy circulation
depression and severe mood swings
excessive levels of potassium in the blood, which can result in arrhythmias or cardiac arrest if left untreated
heart attack
liver damage
pulmonary embolism (PE), in which blood clots block the lung's airways and dangerously impair the ability to breathe
severe allergic reaction, marked by skin rash, facial swelling and/or difficulty breathing
stroke

In August 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a national warning, announcing that Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals (the maker of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella) would have to start printing “Black Box Warnings” on all packaging. These warnings are the most serious level of FDA alerts, as they indicate that a medication has the potential to cause potentially fatal side effects.

Starting a Yaz/Yasmin Lawsuit

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with any of the above conditions and has a history of taking one of the mentioned birth control pills, it's essential that you:

Receive emergency medical attention to prevent further, possibly deadly health complications
