Yaz birth control side effects

Yaz birth control side effects include stroke and heart problems

In recent news, a woman from Iowa filed a lawsuit against Yaz manufacturer Bayer, alleging that she developed serious side effects from her use of birth control Ocella, a generic version of Yaz.

The woman claims that she used the product for several months last year, and suffered a stroke and other life-threatening Yaz side effects.

The lawsuit contends that the woman is now at greater risk for developing blood clots in deep veins and her lungs, due to the progestin contained in Ocella.

Yaz birth control side effects

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are oral contraceptives that contain ethinyl estradiol and the new fourth generation progestin drospirenone (DRSP), which have been linked to the following side effects:

  • heart attack
  • stroke
  • pulmonary embolism

If you have experienced serious side effects after taking Yaz, you may be entitled to file a lawsuit against the manufacturer.

A lawyer with experience in Yaz birth control litigation can help evaluate your claim.

Many women around the country have suffered from life-threatening side effects related to Yaz birth control but are unaware they have a right to seek monetary compensation by filing a claim against Bayer.
