Yasmin and Yaz – Dangerous Drugs with Dangerous Side Effects
There are many brands of oral contraceptives available in the United States today, but Yasmin and Yaz have dominated the marketplace because of the manufacturer's aggressive advertising campaigns. Since the introduction of Yasmin and Yaz, Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals has become the target of thousands of lawsuits over the alleged life-threatening side effects attributed to these popular oral contraceptives.
These lawsuits allege that Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals failed to warn customers and their doctors about the increased risk of injury associated with the use of these oral contraceptives while overstating the benefits. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are legally obligated to disclose any known adverse side effects to consumers and physicians.
Serious Side Effects
Yasmin and Yaz are different from other oral contraceptives since they contain drospirenone, a progestin which can increase blood potassium levels, which is known as hyperkalemia, and therefore increases the risk of:
• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Blood clots
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
• Pulmonary embolism (PE)
• Gallbladder problems
• Kidney damage
• Cardiac arrhythmias
• Sudden death
Overblown and irresponsible advertising claims used in the marketing of these oral contraceptives by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals has caused many young healthy women to have to come to terms with devastating health problems caused by a dangerous drug they were told was safe.
Financial Compensation for Your Suffering
Women who have been injured by the use of Yasmin and Yaz may be entitled to financial compensation for their pain and suffering, medical expenses and other costs incurred as a result of injuries inflicted by the consumption of these defective pharmaceuticals. An experienced defective products and attorney can determine if there was a relationship between Yasmin and Yaz consumption and your health problems. There are time limits associated with filing a claim against the pharmaceutical manufacturer of these dangerous drugs so it is important to act quickly.
