Medical experts believe that the problematic component in these medications is likely drospirenone. The hormone has been known to increase potassium levels, leading to a condition known as hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia disrupts heart rhythms and causes slow circulation. This can lead to blood clots breaking off and find their way to the lungs or to the brain. The result is a pulmonary embolism or stroke. According to a study published in the British Medical Journal, drospirenone could double the risk of blood clots. Concern has grown in both the medical and legal communities, as over 50 fatalities related to the pills have been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), including victims as young as 17 years old. Bayer, the pharmaceutical firm that manufactures these products, is planning to offer generic versions. Because drospirenone will still be present in the generic version, all of the potential problems described here may still be possible. Lawyers have already filed a number of lawsuits against the pharmaceutical powerhouse, Bayer. At least one lawsuit has also named the drugstore Walgreens as a defendant. The suit alleges that in selling the pills, the store implied that they were safe for use. The plaintiff in that case had a blood clot in her lung, as well as a severe infection surrounding that clot, after purchasing the contraceptives there. For women who are taking oral contraceptives, these harmful medical outcomes can be potentially life-threatening. Despite an aggressive marketing campaign touting additional positive benefits, always be aware that the risks of taking this medication may outweigh the benefits. YAZ side effects lawsuits are based on a number of different accusations. They allege that the manufacturers failed to: - Properly warn of potential risks
- Adequately test and research the drugs before marketing them
- Remove the medication from the market once the adverse effects were apparent
We encourage women who are diagnosed with serious health problems after taking oral contraceptives to seek legal support. The most severe medical conditions associated with this medication include: - Stroke
