To achieve birth control, many women must trust pharmaceutical companies. The oral contraceptives they produce are supposed to prevent pregnancy and do no harm to the user. Tragically, that is not the situation with Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella.
Each of these birth control pill brands - and these only, fortunately -- has the drug DRSP, or drospirenone. It is believed to cause strokes, blood clots, high blood pressure, heart attacks and even death. Thus, women who take Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella for birth control are at risk.
Women who suffer from such defective drugs have a legal right to seek just and fair financial compensation for their losses, including medical bills, lost salary and pain and suffering. To achieve this, they may need a defective drugs lawyer from Jim S. Adler & Associates, a leading personal injury law firm which serves Texans from offices in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.
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.
Not only are such drugs dangerous, but Bayer received complaints from the Food and Drug Administration and the attorneys general of 27 states due to its advertising. Bayer's ads suggested that its birth control pills eased PMS (premenstrual syndrome), PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and mild acne. None of these claims was true, and Bayer was forced to run additional advertising to counter them.
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.
Women who notice symptoms such as these should immediately notify a medical professional. Such women also should consider alerting a defective drugs lawyer in order to claim the monetary compensation they deserve -- and to which they are legally entitled. - 31397
