Bayer Can’t Patch Up Yaz Blood Clot Side Effects
By John Curran
More than 10,000 cases have been filed by Yaz blood clot side effects lawsuit lawyers on behalf of women who took the contraceptive or related medications and developed severe blood clots. Some of them even led to deep vein thrombosis and Yasmin stroke side effects. However, manufacturer Bayer Pharmaceutical is still trying to push a new birth control product onto the market.
It hit a road block. In spite of the thousands of Yaz lawsuits that forced courts to create Yaz/Yasmin lawsuit multi-district litigation, Bayer tried to go back to the same well. While the new birth control device is a patch, rather than a pill to take orally, the chemicals used to affect estrogen levels were pretty much the same. Even the FDA has noted that it would increase the risks for blood clots by 74 percent over a placebo.
The birth control patch is undergoing a review by the European Union’s FDA equivalent, but Bayer has not yet filed the paperwork for a U.S. launch. Similar to Beyaz blood clot side effects, however, the birth control patch may need a more visual warning of these side effects. The concern of the FDA also extends to Johnson & Johnson’s Ortho Evra patch, which would be the Bayer device’s chief competitor in the marketplace.
It is not the only drug that women who are considering contraceptives should be wary of when talking with a gynecologist. Bayer has also released a low-dose pill that is designed to allow for menstrual cycle planning. It is unclear whether it can cause symptoms similar to Yasmin stroke side effects in patients.
Of course, the company may need a cash influx from a new product. It has already paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to Yaz blood clot side effects victims. So far, most payouts are a couple hundred thousand dollars thanks to Yaz blood clot side effects lawsuit lawyers. Unfortunately, the company is refusing to consider other side effects and is instead choosing to fight them in court.
