North Carolina Yaz/Yasmin Lawyers
On December 8, 2011, the FDA convened to review the conflicting data of numerous studies evaluating the risk of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) associated with Yasmin, Yaz, and other combined oral contraceptives (COCs) that contain drospirenone (DRSP) as the progestin component. The FDA's expert panel voted 21 to 5 that the current US labels for Bayer's DRSP containing COCs are currently inadequate and need more information concerning the increased risk of blood clots compared to older contraceptive pills. The FDA's own study found a 75% increase in the risk of blood clots in women using Bayer's line of DRSP contraceptives.
If you or a loved one has used the oral contraceptive Yaz or Yasmin, there is some important information that you need to know.
Yaz, and its predecessor, Yasmin, have been linked to serious side effects and increased risk of severe health complications that have been improperly downplayed by the manufacturer, Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals. Some of these side effects include:
- Pulmonary embolism
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Ischemic Stroke
- Heart attack
- Death
