Yaz Problems Home

Most women simply were never aware...

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are combination birth control pills that contain a chemical progestin called drospirenone. Drospirenone is a diuretic that has been associated with a number of very dangerous and potentially fatal side effects. Most women simply were never aware that Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella all contained drospirenone. Drospirenone is not used in any other combination oral contraceptive on the market in the United States.

I thought that Yaz was safe and effective.

From what I saw on the television advertisements, I thought that Yaz was a safe and effective way to completely clear up my acne and to help control the symptoms of PMS. I had no idea that the FDA had to send three warning letters to the manufacturers of Yaz and Yasmin telling them to stop these advertisements because they were “misleading” because they “overstate the efficacy of Yaz, and minimize serious risks associated with use of the drug.”

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella all contain drospirenone.

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella all contain a chemical progestin called drospirenone. Drospirenone is a diuretic with antimineralocortoid properties that can cause hyperkalemia and lead to thrombosis. What this means is that drospirenone is a diuretic that causes you to lose body water and become dehydrated. This can make the potassium levels in your blood go to dangerous levels and cause potentially life-threatening blood clots, stroke, pulmonary embolism, sudden cardiac death, and a number of other serious medical problems.

Bayer decided to put profits before people.

The manufacturers of Yaz and Yasmin have put profits before people when marketing and selling these drugs. Their misleading TV advertisements may have caused many unsuspecting young women to begin taking Yaz and Yasmin. In exaggerating the benefits and understating the serious potential risks, Bayer has made Yaz the number one selling birth control in the United States with worldwide sales over $1.8 billion.

Your loved ones don't know how dangerous it is.

I had no idea that a simple birth control pill like Yaz could cause such dangerous and sometimes fatal side effects. It turns out that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella have all been linked to increased risk of blood clotting, stroke, heart attack, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, gallbladder disease, liver or kidney failure, and even death.

There is something you can do to fight back.

If you or a loved one has suffered serious injury or death after using, Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella, there is something you can do to fight back and help get your lives back in order. Many individuals who were seriously injured after taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella have filed lawsuits against the manufacturers, Bayer, and other related entities.

When pursuing a claim against a large pharmaceutical corporation, you need to make sure you hire lawyers who are medically knowledgeable, aggressive, technologically sophisticated, and most importantly, experienced at winning cases at trial.
