For oral contraceptives, millions of women place their trust in pharmaceutical companies. Those drugs are supposed to do their job -- prevent pregnancy - and do nothing to harm the user. Sadly, that is not the case with Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella.
Those birth control pills - and those only - contain an ingredient called DRSP, or drospirenone. That drug is known to cause high blood pressure, blood clots, heart attacks, strokes and even death in women who take Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella.
Women who suffer as a result have a right to press for just and fair financial recovery for their hardships, including medical costs, lost present and future salary, and pain and suffering. In order to gain such compensation, they may need a defective drugs lawyer or attorney from Jim S. Adler & Associates, a veteran personal injury law firm which serves Texans across the state from offices in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas and Channelview.
A Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella defective drugs lawsuit can hold negligent manufacturers accountable in the legal arena. In this case, Bayer is the manufacturer of Yaz and Yasmin, while Ocella, produced by Barr, is a generic brand of the drug.
As well as being a potential health hazard, Yasmin and Yaz have been advertised and marketed with false claims. The federal Food and Drug Administration and the attorneys general of 27 states complained to Bayer about its TV ads for Yaz and Yasmin, which made it sound as if the birth control pills reduced discomfort from PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and mild acne. These claims were not true, and Bayer had to air other ads to counter its own false claims.
Users of Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella should be alert to these side effects and symptoms: confusion, sudden dizziness, fainting, sudden shortness of breath, tingling, weakness or numbness in the legs or arms, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, severe headaches, vision problems, coughing up blood, pain, warmth or swelling in the groin or calf and chest pain or pain in the jaw or left arm.
Those with such symptoms should see a physician immediately. At a later time they also should consider alerting a defective drugs attorney to seek the economic recovery to which they are entitled under the law.
