Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are brand names for oral contraceptives that contain the hormone drospirenone. Numerous women have complained about Yaz side effects. Several studies have linked Yaz users with higher risks for blood clots. A study by the British Medical Journal found that Yaz birth control pills have a greater risk of causing blood clots than other birth control pills. This same study also said that Yaz users are at increased risk for venous thrombosis, a dangerous blood clot that forms in the vein. Another adverse side effect of Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, such as the leg or pelvis. Deep vein thrombosis can be extremely dangerous. A complication of DVT is a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot that travels to the lungs. Pulmonary embolisms can be fatal to patients. Many women have complained that they have developed these dangerous health conditions after taking Yaz.

Yaz was the best-selling birth control pill in the United States in 2008 and 2009. Millions of women have been prescribed Yaz since it first launched a decade ago. Unfortunately, for many women taking Yaz, it has become a nightmare. Thousands of women are currently suing Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, the maker of Yaz and Yasmin for their Yaz injuries.

If you or a loved one has been injured by Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and losses. Contact the dangerous drug attorneys at The Eichholz Law Firm. To learn more about defective products claims, visit www.thejusticelawyer.com.
