Yaz/Yasmin - Birth Control Pills - Side Effects Include Blood Clots and Heart Attack	SPREAD THE WORD

| 394 |      LEAD PLAINTIFF: balthazar      Case Filed: 2010-02-03

Case Summary: Yaz and Yasmin are once-a-day oral contraceptives used to prevent pregnancy. Both Yaz and Yasmin, as well as the generic equivalent Ocella, contain drospirenone (drsp) and ethinyl estradiol. Although manufacturer Bayer Healthcare claims that these products are as safe as other types of birth control pills, drospirenone can increase a woman's potassium levels. Increased potassium levels can cause serious health problems, such as heart attacks, for Yaz and Yasmin users. Other women taking Yaz or Yasmin have reported blood clots, strokes, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Women with certain risk factors, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes or high blood pressure, are at an increased risk for these dangerous side effects. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration and several attorney generals have taken action against Bayer HealthCare after misleading Yaz advertisements aired on television. If you or a loved one has suffered side effects after taking Yaz, Yasmin, or Ocella, you may be eligible to recover compensation Case Detail: # This Alert Affects: Women who have taken Yaz or Yasmin birth control pills and experienced life threatening side effects, such as heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolism, should consult an attorney about their eligibility to participate in litigation. # Damages: Serious side effects of Yaz and Yasmin include heart attack, stroke, blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, benign liver tumors, and gallbladder disease. # Company(ies): Bayer Healthcare # Additional Details: Yaz, Yasmin, and the generic equivalent Ocella are once a day oral contraceptives that are designed to prevent pregnancy. Yaz has also been FDA-approved to treat Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD). # Date: This product has not been recalled but the FDA has reprimanded the manufacturer for airing misleading ads.
