Missouri Yaz Lawsuit Attorneys
Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are popular birth control pills that are taken by women to prevent pregnancy or to control the symptoms of PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder). These medications have been associated with death, strokes, blood clots, heart attacks and other serious and life threatening complications. They have been blamed for causing at least 50 deaths between 2004 and 2008.
Yaz is manufactured by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and was approved for sale in the U.S. in 2006. A lower dose version is sold under the name Yasmin and has been sold since 2001. Yaz uses a different kind of hormone, DRSP (drospirenone), than other birth-control pills. This new drug is blamed for the serious and life threatening side effects that have been documented and which include:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Death
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Pulmonary embolism (PE)
- Blood clots
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Kidney failure
- Seizures
- Pancreatitis
- Gall bladder damage
