(EMAILWIRE.COM, July 09, 2010 ) New York, NY - ClassAction.org is currently investigating claims of serious side effects that have been linked to Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella birth control pills. Some women who have taken these medications have experienced life threatening health issues, including blood clots, heart attacks, and strokes. ClassAction.org is dedicated to providing women with information about these potentially life threatening Yaz side effects, as well as helping those who are interested in pursuing a Yaz lawsuit.
Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella are oral contraceptives that are taken once a day to prevent pregnancy. Yaz is manufactured by Bayer Healthcare. Yasmin is a separate but related birth control pill, and Ocella is the generic version of Yasmin.
Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella contain a hormone called drsp, or drospirenone. This ingredient is what makes these medications chemically different from other combination birth control pills. Drospirenone can increase potassium levels in some women, which can lead to serious health problems. Heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), gallbladder disease, liver tumors, and blood clots are among the Yaz and Yasmin side effects that have been reported by women who have taken these medications. Certain risk factors, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, may put women at an increased risk for these Yaz side effects.
If you or a loved one has experienced serious negative side effects after taking Yaz, Yasmin, or Ocella, you may be able to participate in a Yaz birth control lawsuit and recover financial compensation.

A Yaz attorney can guide you through the legal process and make sure your rights are protected.
