Monday, November 30th, 2009Yaz is a popular oral contraceptive pill that is taken by millions of women around the world every year. As of late, Yaz has been linked with certain serious Yaz side effects and possibly life-threatening injuries. Women taking Yaz, or its generic form Ocella, have reportedly suffered deep vein thrombosis,pulmonary embolism, among other serious health problems. And adding to the already rising scrutiny, the FDA has sanctioned the makers of Yaz and Yasmin for misleading television adverts that did not properly informing consumers and misinterpreted the health conditions the pills were meant to treat.
Bells and whistles went off when women in their 20s and 30s were suddenly falling victim to ischemic stroke and heart attack after being put on Yaz. Young, healthy individuals who were on this brand of contraception for as little as a few months were exhibiting symptoms of major side effects and serious health risks. Ischemic stroke, heart arrhythmia, and pulmonary embolism are just some of the serious Yaz side effects allegedly experienced by women put on this birth control pill.
Any women that have been injured as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella may be entitled to recompense. Many attorneys and legal aid agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now extend assistance to anyone living with side effects and health issues as a direct result of using Yasmin contraception. Now that more women across the country are coming forward and filing suit, the legal system is moving closer to furnishing justice for those who were misinformed by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.
