Side Effects from Oral Contraceptives
Research performed on healthy, premenopausal women in the Netherlands specified that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella (generic Yasmin) suffered an raised risk of venous thrombosis as compared to non-users. The risks were increased as high as five times with birth control pills. These studies were published in August 2009. This was only the beginning of the controversy surrounding Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella and the consequent lawsuits to come involving Yaz side effects.
There are already many lawsuits filed in various counties across the U.S. against the birth control manufacturer. This number is expected to reach 1,000. Typically, those effected by Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella can fill out the form at TheLegalAdvocate.com to have a lawyer review their info in order to be provided with answers and eventually legal representation.
Females taking Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella to avoid becoming pregnant or to treat PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) or severe acne have reportedly sustained serious injury to their health and wellness. Although most pharmaceuticals present some form of side effects, the main topic surrounding Yaz seems to be that the original commercials downplayed the health risks and side effects. This attracted users to the product that may not have taken it otherwise had they been properly informed about the risks posed by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz.
