Yasmin Health Risks and Lawsuits
Research performed on healthy, premenopausal women in the Netherlands established that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella (generic Yasmin) suffered an inflated risk of venous thrombosis as compared to non-users. The risks were increased as high as fivefold with birth control pills. These studies were published in August 2009. This was only the beginning of the contention surrounding Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella and the resultant lawsuits to come regarding Yaz side effects.
Bells and whistles went off when women in their 20s and 30s were suddenly falling victim to ischemic stroke and blood clots after being put on Ocella. Vibrant women who were on this brand of contraceptive method for as little as a few months were exhibiting symptoms of major side effects and serious health risks. Cardiovascular injury, organ failure, and blood clots are just some of the serious birth control side effects allegedly experienced by patients put on this oral contraceptive pill.
Females taking Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella to avoid getting pregnant or to treat PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) or severe acne have reportedly withstood severe injury to their health and wellbeing. Although not all pharmaceuticals are one-hundred percent safe, the main topic surrounding Yaz seems to be that the original commercials downplayed the health risks and side effects. This attracted users to the product that may not have taken it otherwise had they been properly informed about the risks posed by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz.
