Is Birth Control Just Another Yaz Side Effect?

When women decided to take Yaz, they were doing so because it was supposed to be a safe form of birth control. Now that the drug has had time in the market to show how dangerous it truly is, was birth control just another side effect of taking Yaz? Yaz has side effects such as pulmonary embolism, gallbladder disease, deep vein thrombosis, heart attack, and many more. These side effects were not rare either. In fact, they happened pretty commonly.
So the question remains: when signing up to take Yaz, were users signing up to get a birth control pill or a gallbladder disease pill?
Drugs like Yaz work by introducing hormones into the users body that make pregnancy impossible. However, the hormones which help to avoid pregnancy also cause a host of lethal side effects. The hormones drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol cause terrible side effects in women who are otherwise completely healthy. When the hormones are ingested, they make their way to the liver, and while they are there they completely alter the natural bile that the liver produces and sends to the gallbladder. This altered bile can not break down gallstones, and this leads to gallbladder disease.
Some critics have retorted by saying that women are naturally more likely than men to develop gallbladder disease, but this is only true in women that have become post-menopausal. Because all of the users of Yaz and similar drugs are have obviously not reached that stage in their lives, the fact that they are coming down with so much gallbladder disease is a telling sign for Yaz. It is solid evidence which shows that the drug has serious side effects.
The time has now come for payback. Although it comes many years later, it is still not too late for those negatively affected by the drug Yaz. More than one thousands cases have already been filed against the makers of Yaz in court. The cases claim that Bayer, the ones who made Yaz, did not warn users of the drug about all of the side effects. The Yaz lawsuit cases are being consolidated in a process known as multidistrict litigation, which will take place in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
These cases are the first step towards a conclusion for those affected by the drug Yaz. Many young women have been affected by the drug since it was released. Hopefully they will soon be able to find some peace in their lives.
