Yaz and Yasmin Birth Control confirmed 3 Times More Dangerous Than Other Pills

Posted by Personal Injury Lawyers on Wednesday, 07 December 2011 in Law Blog

Yaz and Yasmin has been confirmed through numerous studies in the U.S and Canada to increase the risk of blood clots. The birth control pill, sold by Bayer pharmaceuticals, may increase the risk of blood clots up to three times over some other birth control pills.

Most birth control pills contain a hormone called levonorgestrel. The birth control pill Yaz contains a hormone called drospirenone, not used in other birth control pills.  Canadian health regulators and the FDA determined that Yaz, compared to other birth control pills, doubled the risk of heart attack and increased the risk of blood clots by 75%. 

Hundreds of women in the U.S. have filed a Yaz/Yasmin Lawsuit after suffering from blood clots, stroke, gallbladder disease, organ failure, heart attack, and some forms of cancer.

December 8 the FDA advisory panel will meet to examine the current studies of Yaz to determine what governing actions will need to be taken to protect women in the U.S.
