Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are oral contraceptives that contain the hormone drospirenone. A study published by the British Medical Journal found that Yaz birth control pills have a greater risk of causing blood clots than other birth control pills. Researchers think that drospirenone increases a patient’s risk of developing blood clots. The same study also associated Yaz users with an increased risk for venous thrombosis, a dangerous blood clot that forms in the vein. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), another side effect of Yaz, is when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, such as the legs. Many Yaz patients have suffered from pulmonary embolisms, a complication of deep vein thrombosis, which is a blood clot that travels to the lungs. Pulmonary embolisms can be fatal for patients.

In May 2011, the FDA issued a warning that oral contraceptives that contain drospirenone may have an increased risk of blood clots. Thousands of women claim that they have sustained Yaz blood clots. Over 6,000 lawsuits have been filed against Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, the producer of Yaz and Yasmin. If you or a loved one think that you have a Yaz claim, it is important to consult with an attorney. There may be a statue of limitations to file a Yaz lawsuit, preventing you from being awarded monetary damages after a certain time period.
