Women who took the popular oral contraceptives Yaz or Yasmin have the option of filing suit against the drug makers. Certain factors determine eligibility for filing. Each lawsuit is unique and each individual’s specific Yaz or Yasmin prescription, use and subsequent side effects are taken into account.
Individuals Who Are Yaz or Yasmin Lawsuit Eligible are Those:
- Who were given a prescription for the popular oral contraceptive Yaz or Yasmin
- Who developed Yaz or Yasmin side effects after using the drug: blood clot, pulmonary embolism, gallbladder disease, etcetera while on Yaz or Yasmin
- Who have lost a family member due to Yaz or Yasmin use
Yaz is the most common name for the popular oral contraceptive cited in the lawsuits. But it is also known as Yasmin and Ocella. The drug is made with drospirenone (DSRP) and ethinyl estradiol. It is the only contraceptive made with DSRP. Because of this unique ingredient the drug is sometimes referred to as DSRP birth control pills. The list of side effects attached to the oral contraceptive is currently numbering 40. While side effects are a normal consideration when starting a new medication…a list of 40 side effects is excessive.
The most severe side effects associated with Yaz or Yasmin are: DVT or deep vein thrombosis, fatal blood clots, heart attacks, pulmonary embolism (PE), and strokes. Other Yaz and Yasmin side effects include: kidney failure, renal failure, pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, and gallbladder removal.
Women thinking about filing a Yaz or Yasmin lawsuit in order to be awarded compensatory damages for injuries and expenses should discuss the details of their case with an experienced lawyer. A lawyer experienced in Yaz lawsuit litigation is the only one qualified to aid potential plaintiffs in determining the potential of a case and the proper action to be taken in filing. While the pharmaceutical company still denies all liability…this does not preclude prospective plaintiffs from filing Yaz or Yasmin lawsuits.
