Brenda Hamilton and Susan Gallenos are two of the over three thousand woman who are filing Yaz lawsuits against Bayer Pharmaceuticals because they have suffered negative side effects after taking their popular birth control method, Yaz. Both Brenda and Susan suffered strokes, but other serious side effects have been reported, including pulmonary embolism, heart attack, deep vein thrombosis, and gallbladder disease.
The Bayer Pharmaceuticals company received a warning from the Food and Drug Administration regarding their advertising, which portrayed the product as a safe and effective birth control method that could help fight mild to moderate acne. The ads did not mention that side effects could be severe and life threatening, even though 64 percent more women suffered a serious blood clot issue while on Yaz than while on other oral contraceptives.
Brenda Hamilton, a Broadway actress, was only twenty-seven when she suffered her stroke, and had been taking Yasmin for two years. Susan Gallenos was a young mother who had only been taking Yaz for a month when she had hers. Brenda has luckily since made a full recovery, but Susan has suffered complications from her stroke, such as a diminished IQ and a changed personality. Physical rehabilitation and medical treatment can help stroke victims recover, but a full recovery is not guaranteed, and strokes can be fatal.
Both of these women consulted a Yaz lawyer in order to recover damages from Bayer Pharmaceutical. If you've been injured, it's important to find out if you have a claim for damages against the manufacturer.
