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.
Such birth control pills include a drug named DRSP, or drospirenone, which is believed to cause blood clots, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and even death in women who take Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella for birth control.
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 Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella defective drugs legal action can hold negligent pharmaceutical companies responsible in the legal realm. They include Bayer, the manufacturer of Yaz and Yasmin, and Barr, which produces the generic brand of the drug called Ocella.
As well as being a potential health hazard, Yasmin and Yaz have been advertised and marketed with false claims. The federal Food and Drug Administration and the attorneys general of 27 states complained to Bayer about its TV ads for Yaz and Yasmin, which made it sound as if the birth control pills reduced discomfort from PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and mild acne. These claims were not true, and Bayer had to air other ads to counter its own false claims.
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.
Persons who suffer these symptoms should promptly see a physician. They also should consider contacting a defective drugs lawyer to seek the financial compensation they deserve.
