New NuvaRing Pulmonary Embolism Lawsuit Filed
By John Curran
NuvaRing blood clot side effects are becoming a very public fact, but that unfortunately does not help the hundreds of thousands of women who have already taken the contraceptive. One Texas woman’s NuvaRing pulmonary embolism lawsuit attorney alleges that his client suffered from side effects after less than a year on the medication.
Unlike with some plaintiffs, this El Paso woman has few other conditions that would lead to NuvaRing pulmonary embolism side effects. She was only 19 when the condition developed and would still be healthy. Unfortunately, she had to go to the emergency room for the condition, and is still on blood thinners to ensure it does not happen again.
NuvaRing pulmonary embolism lawsuit attorneys note that while the FDA finally issued a report that clotting occurs 50 to 75 percent more often than older contraceptive options, it is of little comfort to those who had already been taking the medication. Consider that it had been on the market for nearly 10 years before the agency finally issued a report about NuvaRing blood clot side effects.
Women who are still taking the medication number just shy of one million in spite of the recent reports. The excessive clotting caused by the contraceptive is not limited to effects on the heart, however. Even young women are at risk for NuvaRing stroke side effects if the clots move to the brain, and these can cause lasting damage and cognitive impairment.
Deep vein thrombosis is another condition that can develop from clotting. In most cases, they do not cause as much damage as NuvaRing stroke side effects. That does not make them any less painful, often leading to swollen limbs, especially in the legs. It still requires blood thinners, many of which are potentially dangerous and have their own extensive side effect profile.
