Yaz Lawsuits Continue to Mount PDF Print E-mail
Written by Oklahoma City Attorney

Yaz is a birth control drug that's manufactured, marketed and sold by Bayer Healthcare, one of the true giants of the pharmaceutical industry.  Yaz is a birth control drug that's used by women who want to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and it was enormously successful during its initial period on the market after obtaining FDA approval.  Unfortunately, negative reports began to pile up and become public, prompting the need for Yaz side effects lawyers around the United States.  Since the initial burst of negative reports, Yaz lawsuits have continued to mount.  Below is a look at why this is happening.

 

Yaz Side Effects

The biggest reason that Yaz lawsuits have continued to mount is because of the risk of Yaz side effects developing in women who have used this drug.  Examples of these reported Yaz side effects include:

  • Kidney damage
  • Heart attacks
  • Strokes
  • Pulmonary embolisms
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
  • Death

All of these side effects are extremely dangerous, and any of them can be deadly for an otherwise unsuspecting consumer.  Many of the women who suffered from Yaz side effects had otherwise been healthy in general and had no idea of the risks they were taking.

Yaz Advertising

During the period in which Yaz was generating enormous revenue, Bayer Healthcare also promoted a huge advertising campaign that saturated television and radio airwaves.  Unfortunately, these advertisements were seen as very misleading by several Attorneys General of different jurisdictions not only because they purported to treat conditions for which Yaz was not approved, but also because those who saw these advertisements were made to think that Yaz was safer than it actually was.  Yaz has since pulled these advertisements.

Overall, Yaz side effects is a real issue, and lawsuits are piling up not only around the United States but in different countries around the world.  If you or someone you love has suffered as a result of using Yaz, you need to contact the Yaz side effects lawyers at Atkins & Markoff today to schedule a free initial consultation.
