Yaz contains a progestin hormone that may cause potassium levels in the body to become dangerously high.  This can lead to strokes, heart attacks, or blood clots.  Packaging for Yaz birth control did not sufficiently warn women about these serious risks, say the attorneys for a Yaz class action suit in Wisconsin.

Serious health problems stemming from Yaz use  include  heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis and gallbladder disease.

Bayer’s ads also strongly suggested that Yaz will cure PMS conditions, and acne, for which is absolutely has not been approved by the FDA.  Yaz has only been approved as an oral contraceptive and as treatment for PMDD, a sever form of PMS but with different symptoms of PMS.

The basis for the Yaz drug injury lawsuits rests partly in the failure of Bayer Pharmaceuticals, who market the drug, to adequately warn women against some serious health problems associated with taking Yaz birth control.  These include blood clots, which can cause stroke, heart attach, and gall bladder disease.  If you’ve suffered medical side effects from taking Yaz, you can seek compensation through a Yaz Lawsuit that’s forming in your state.

Aside from stroke, heart attack and gall bladder disease, women have developed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).  These are blood clotting situations caused by raised levels of potassium in the blood, which is a result of the diuretic effect of drospirenone, one of two main ingredients in Yaz.

If you’ve suffered needlessly from a Yaz drug injury then you can find retribution by joining other women in a Yaz lawsuit.  If you knew then what you know now about Yaz side effects, would you still choose to take this pill?
