Yaz Side Effects, Health Hazards and Truth in Advertising

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 7:52 am

Birth control pills can be utilized for more than just precluding pregnancy. Many young ladies take it in their teen years to help control irregular menstruation. An birth control pill came out on the market that claimed to not only preclude impregnation, but to help clarify acne, as well as aid with the effects of PMDD, also known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder. PMDD is a inflated form of PMS, or premenstrual syndrome. PMDD can have symptoms such as fatigue, and anxiety. According to young women with PMDD, Yasmin has been very reliable. Still, along with relieving acne and PMDD symptoms, Yaz side effects are also being uncovered at an awful rate.

Even though Yaz went through clinical trials and obtained FDA approval in the U.S., the high-pressure promotion of the birth control pill for its effect of cutting back the incidence of PMDD and acne led to its popularity and exposure. This exposure was to a much larger array of people than were initially involved in the clinical trials and subsequently, far more sufferers of the Yaz side effects were found. The more serious side effects include deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and gall bladder disease. Among the minor and far more average side effects are headaches, weight gain, and reduced sex drive.

There is at least one widely heralded class action legal case against the maker of Yasmin, Bayer Pharmaceuticals. If the effects of Yasmin are minor, then you may want to deliberate becoming a part of that class action suit. If your Yaz side effects are of a more serious nature, then you may want to consider seeking out a lawyer who is informed with this type of suit and initiate your own lawsuit against the pharmaceutical company. There may also be a malpractice lawsuit depending on when the doctor prescribed the contraceptive pill and your medical history at the time of the prescription.
