NuvaRing’s Dangerous Side Effects
By Andrea Gressman
NuvaRing has been under a flood of scrutiny in both the medical and legal communities due the number of NuvaRing lawsuits that are currently being filed across the nation. The fact remains that even though a NuvaRing recall has not been issued, NuvaRing is still responsible for a number of very dangerous side effects that women need to be aware of before they make the choice to use NuvaRing as their birth control option.
NuvaRing Remains Popular as Ever Despite Life-Threatening Side Effects
Medical products that fail to work as intended can cause you serious health issues as well as great financial problems. When people are injured due to a failed medical device or hazardous drug, the physical and mental aspects of it, as well as financial repercussions, can be overwhelming and extremely difficult to cope with. An example of this is NuvaRing and the many NuvaRing lawsuits that have been filed.
The use of NuvaRing birth control has led to many women going through immeasurable amounts of pain and suffering due to the dangerous complications associated with the implant. But despite such side effect risks, NuvaRing remains a very popular choice when it comes to birth control options.
A dangerous hormone combination that is released during NuvaRing use elevates the risk of severe blood clots that can potentially lead to a variety of problems, including the following:
* Breast cancer
* Stroke
* Heart attack
* Blood clots in the pelvis or legs (deep vein thrombosis)
* Blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism)
As you can see, these are all very serious and potentially life-threatening side effects. If you are a NuvaRing user and are experiencing any type of adverse side effects, contact your doctor right away.
NuvaRing Lawsuits Claim Manufacturer Failed to Warn of Severe Side Effects
It has been claimed in one NuvaRing lawsuit after another that the manufacturer of NuvaRing, Organon BioSciences, had foreknowledge of the defective state of the NuvaRing product before they decided to sell it to the public. Their failure to notify the FDA of the fact that those who used NuvaRing doubled their side effect risk of developing blood clots was deliberate and intentional. NuvaRing blood clot lawsuits go on to claim that Organon behaved in a negligent, reckless manner, which led to the injuries of many women who continue to use NuvaRing birth control
NuvaRing Lawsuit MDL vs. NuvaRing Class Action Lawsuit
For more than 5 years NuvaRing attorneys and the manufacturers have been locked in legal battle. There is currently a NuvaRing lawsuit MDL against Organon and Merck & Co, its parent company. Multi-district litigation is a consolidation of several similar NuvaRing lawsuits under federal law. However, they are not classified as a class action lawsuit, meaning the NuvaRing lawsuits are handled individually and statements are not shared with the mix of other claimants, which number into the thousands. A NuvaRing lawsuit that has failed to be resolved in pretrial is returned to the court of its original filing.
