Yasmin, Yaz & Ocella Linked to Increased Chance of Stroke
07/20/2010
The birth control pill is a well known form of contraceptives in these modern times, and some of the newer makes on the market including Yasmin, Ocella and Yaz have gained renown exceedingly rapidly. It was suggested that they can successfully treat complaints such as pre-menstrual syndrome (otherwise known as PMS), acne or PDD. Yet their side effects, which are potentially extremely important, have not experienced corresponding levels of promotion. Women have indeed been using birth control pills for a long time, and there have not been any major side effects. Nevertheless, these oral contraceptive pills work differently. Yaz contains drospirenone alongside the everyday female hormones. People were originally hoping that this wouldeffectively treat acne outbreaks as well using a 21/7 or 24/4 pattern.
Now, however, legal experts specializing in lawsuits focusing in Yaz have suggested in no uncertain terms that the public should be informed of these potentially life threatening side effects. These might include issues like heart attacks, cardiac arrythmias and the chance that those who use it could actually die.
Problems like these result from exposure to drospirenone-based oral contraceptives. Taking Yaz will cause the potassium levels in your blood to rise. Such a development on its own is worrying enough. But it could lead to additional problems if you are taking other medicine such as NSAIDS, for example — for example Motrin or ACE inhibitors commonly prescribed for various illnesses. If potassium levels get overly high, the chance of side effects increases. Despite all of this, the medication has not been removed from sale either by the makers or the Federal Drugs Agency and they have not given any alerts to people in relation to taking the tablets.
Treatment isn’t available, although you are strongly encouraged to seek further help from a lawyer. Perhaps you could talk to your doctor about obtaining pills to prevent clots forming in your blood. Or you could have a filter implanted into the vein which leads to your heart. Regrettably, other than these options, people who have taken medicines which contain drospirenone can merely keep checking on any health concerns.
Any Yaz lawyer can provide excellent advice to those who may have used contraceptive tablets containing drospirenone and are experiencing any side effects as a result. By talking with legal experts, patients can examine their choices and might be able to seek damages.
Any compensation awarded, with the hard work of an excellent lawyer, could help them to pay off large medical costs, or compensate for lost working days resulting from several treatments or appointments. What’s mmore, it may help meet the cost of any treatment and surgical procedures they need. All of these things can help take away the strain that Yaz has caused for them.
