YASMIN LAWSUIT LAWYERS & ATTORNEYS

Yasmin, also known as Ocella, Yasmin, and Yaz, is one of the most popular birth control pills on the market since 2001. It is not only popular because it prevents ovulation, but also causes changes in the uterine lining and the cervix that makes fertilization much more difficult and also makes it harder for a fertilized egg to attach to the uterus. Yasmin is also used in females 14 and older to treat acne and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), as well as other conditions in which doctor discretion may be used.

However, it must be noted that this very unique birth control pill that has been touted by some as a “miracle pill” comes with side effects. Some of these side effects have been known to be anywhere from mild to severe. Some of the more severe symptoms are usually not disclosed to women taking Yasmin, but the mild symptoms usually are.

YASMIN SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS

• Stroke – Blood clots that may form as a result of using Yasmin can disrupt blood flow to the brain and cause a significant loss in brain function. This clot can also be a result of DVT.

• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – This is a blood clot within a deep vein, usually in the legs, the pelvis, and sometimes the arms. This is a very painful condition that can lead to a pulmonary embolism (PE) and can ultimately cause death in some cases, if not cause further painful complications.

• Pulmonary embolism (PE) – This blockage of the pulmonary artery is usually a result of deep vein thrombosis. One will experience complications when breathing, heart palpitations, and chest pain. If left untreated, PE can cause circulatory issues, collapse, and even sudden death.

• Numbness, weakness, or confusion. One may also experience a sinus-like headache that can also lead to speech, balance, and vision problems.

• Migraine headaches that may change in severity and pattern.

• Chest pain and nausea may suddenly develop.

• Breast lumps that suddenly appear, as do stomach pain, jaundice (skin or eyes become yellowish in color), or loss of appetite.

• Mood changes, depression, or changes in sleep pattern.

A doctor may discuss these symptoms with their patient before prescribing Yasmin. However, these side effects are also listed within the documentation that accompanies each package of pills.

But what has not been disclosed is that Yasmin has recently encountered problems that have been linked to even more serious side effects than what are listed above. These side effects include:

• Death – If a problem is undetected or becomes so severe that treatment is unable to stabilize it, death can occur. Such as in the case of a PE, death can be sudden without any warning whatsoever.

Although there has been no official Yasmin recall by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Bayer AG has been notified that their advertising campaigns were misleading regarding side effects. As a result, Bayer AG has been ordered to modify their ad campaigns. The pharmaceutical company must also receive FDA approval before releasing new ad campaigns in the United States. This decision is the result of several class action lawsuits being filed by those affected by undisclosed side effects. At least one of those lawsuits is a federal lawsuit that is alleging that these Yasmin side effects are responsible for several deaths.
