Yaz, Yasmin and Lack of Consumer Safety

Yaz and Yasmin have generated billions of dollars in sales for their principal manufacturer, Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals. Early evidence suggests Bayer failed to fully research the side effects of these birth control pills and warn women who may have taken Yaz or Yasmin. Instead, Bayer focused on aggressively marketing Yaz and Yasmin without taking proper or appropriate precautions to ensure consumer safety.

As a result, the FDA ordered Bayer to make corrections regarding their advertisements and practices concerning the dangerous drugs. Bayer’s original advertisements for Yaz and Yasmin prescription drugs claimed that the drugs were great for birth control, acne problems, and premenstrual syndrome. In reality, based on scientific studies and case reports, Yaz and Yasmin only helped certain kinds of acne and did nothing to treat Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.

Serious Risks and Side Effects from the Birth Control Pills

Serious and devastating effects that may occur after taking Yaz or Yasmin include:

  • Deep-vein blood clots
  • Stroke: a blood clot in the brain
  • Pulmonary embolism: a blood clot in the lungs
  • Heart attack
  • Death

Anyone who has experienced the severe side effects of Yas or Yasmin should consider talking to a lawyer about their potential case.
