Yaz Blood Clot Risk Being Evaluated by FDA, Announces Morgan and Morgan

The Yaz blood clot lawyers at Morgan and Morgan are advising the public of an FDA announcement that the agency is reviewing the safety of the birth control pill, as well as other contraceptives containing drospirenone. The decision to investigate the Yaz blood clot risk of the pill, as well as other drospirenone-containing contraceptives, was made after the agency reviewed two newly published studies. Reportedly, these studies revealed that women between the ages of 15 and 44 who took drospirenone-containing birth control pills were two to three times more likely to develop venous thromboembolism (VTE), a blood clot which forms in the deep veins in the leg, than those taking older contraceptives containing levonorgestrel.

As the FDA announced it would investigate the Yaz blood clot risk, and that associated with similar pills, it advised that women should not stop taking the medication until speaking with their doctors. The agency did, however, advise women to call their doctor immediately if they developed leg pain, severe chest pain, shortness of breath or other blood clot symptoms. The agency also recommended that women who smoke and are over the age of 35 should not take combination oral contraceptives because they have an increased chance of developing blood clots and other serious cardiovascular events. 

If you suffered from a pulmonary embolism, venous thromboembolism (VTE), or deep vein thrombosis (DVT) while taking Yaz, Yasmin or the generic Ocella, the Yaz blood clot attorneys at Morgan and Morgan would like to hear from you. Potentially, you may be eligible for a Yaz blood clot lawsuit which would seek compensation for medical bills and other damages.
