Yaz Lawsuits Flood Courts Over Serious Side Effects

Amidst allegations that their birth control brands Yaz and Yasmin, drospirenone products, can cause serious and possibly life-threatening side effects, the Bayer Corporation has been flooded with Yaz lawsuits from women who feel that the company misrepresented its product.

Concerning side effects that some women have experienced include blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, gall bladder disease, and pancreatitis – even in patients who would have otherwise been healthy. The Food and Drug Administration has advised the Bayer Corporation that they have misrepresented their product in advertisements, in which they exaggerate the benefits of the product and gloss over the more worrying side effects.

Despite this, neither the Food and Drug Administration nor the Bayer Corporation have issued a recall of the product, and many lawsuits are being filed by women who have suffered some of the more serious side effects. Bayer Corporation has failed to acknowledge that the risks of taking Yaz or Yasmin outweigh the benefits, especially since there are other medications on the market that perform the task that these drugs are meant to.

The number of women who are reporting serious complications relating to these medications is on the increase, but Yaz and Yasmin remain among the most popular forms of oral contraceptives on the market.

If you've been injured, your best option is to consult a Yaz lawyer experienced in pharmaceutical litigation and product liability lawsuits.  Many young women have had serious adverse side effects while on Yaz birth control.
