Studies executed on healthy, premenopausal women in the Netherlands specified that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella (generic Yaz) suffered an magnified risk of venous thrombosis as compared to non-users. The risks were increased as high as five-fold with oral contraceptive pills. These reports were published in August 2009. This was just the beginning of the contention surrounding Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella and the resultant lawsuits to come involving Yaz side effects.
Suspicions were aroused when women in their 20s and 30s were suddenly falling victim to stroke and blood clots after being put on Yaz. Young, healthy women 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 birth control side effects allegedly experienced by the young ladies put on this oral contraceptive.
Any women that have been injured as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella may be eligible to compensation. Many attorneys and legal advocate agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now offer assistance to anyone experiencing side effects and health issues as a direct result of using Yaz contraception. Now that more women across the country are coming forward and filing suit, the legal system is moving closer to offering justice for those who were misled by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.
