With Yasmin, DVT is a Risk!
If you have taken Yaz and experienced deep vein thrombosis, then you could have experienced one of the more severe side effects of the drug. Yaz, also known as Yasmine, Yasmin, and Ocella, is a drug that women once thought was among the safest on the market. The reality is that this medication has been linked to severe mood swings, blood clots, and many other life threatening conditions.
What is The Danger?
Deep Vein Thrombosis is a condition that refers to blood clots that can develop in the body. Even a small blood clot can travel to a vital organ, blocking off the flow of oxygen rich blood to the heart, lungs or brain resulting in serious damage to the organ. In some cases, clots have caused death for women taking the drug. The increased risk of blood clot formation is also more serious for women who smoke and women over the age of thirty five.
Women who have experienced clots while taking Yasmine may be eligible to file a lawsuit to cover medical costs and suffering associated with using the drug. The FDA issued a warning to Bayer, the company manufacturing Yasmin, in 2008 when the company wasn’t outlining the risks of using the contraceptive pill to women clearly enough. In fact, the company was found to be making untrue claims about the effectiveness of the drug in treating PMS while assuring women that the side effects of the drug were minimal.
The Reality of Yasmin
Yasmin has since been shown to be linked to some dangerous conditions that can permanently affect your health and well-being. If you have experienced DVT, a pulmonary embolism, or blood clots of any kind, you can begin learning more about how you can be compensated by filling out the form on this page to speak to a licensed Yaz attorney. Since Bayer did not clearly state the risks of taking Yaz, those who have experienced painful, and often debilitating, side effects from taking the drug don’t have to suffer in silence.
By speaking to an attorney, you can determine whether or not your case is linked to taking the drug and whether you are eligible for a settlement from the company.
