Yaz was the best-selling birth control pill in the United States in 2008 and 2009. Millions of women have been prescribed Yaz since it first launched over a decade ago. Unfortunately, for many women taking Yaz, it has become a nightmare. Thousands of women are currently suing Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Yaz and Yasmin for their condition.
Several studies have linked Yaz users with higher risks for blood clots. A study by the British Medical Journal found that Yaz birth control pills have a greater risk of causing blood clots than other birth control pills.
This same study also found that Yaz users are at increased risk for venous thrombosis, a dangerous blood clot that forms in the vein. Another adverse side effect of Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, such as the leg or pelvis. Deep vein thrombosis can be extremely dangerous.
A complication of DVT is a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot that travels to the lungs. Pulmonary embolisms can be fatal to patients. Many women have complained that they have developed these dangerous health conditions after taking Yaz.
