Settlements Coming in Yaz Birth Control Lawsuits
By John Curran
Oral contraceptives are popular for women who want to choose when to start a family, but Beyaz, Ocella and Yaz stroke side effects are giving manufacturer Bayer headaches around the world. In the U.S. alone, the company is issuing hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements to women, and many expect that number to grow even more.
The reason is that the products were so hugely popular. Launched at a time when pharmaceutical marketing was different, Beyaz blood clot side effects were minimized. Rather, Bayer and other manufacturers would take gynecologists on golf outings or “meet-and-eats,” glossing over the risk for dangerous conditions like stroke and Ocella deep vein thrombosis side effects. Rather than face trial in some cases, Bayer is settling with Yaz stroke side effects lawsuit attorneys.
At $142 million in Yaz lawsuit settlements so far, the legal process is still only beginning for the majority of plaintiffs. Consider that there are more than 10,000 Yaz/Yasmin lawsuits filed in the United States alone, and that is likely to grow. Beyaz blood clot side effects extended beyond patients who needed birth control options, as the FDA approved the drug family for premenstrual dysphoric disorder in 2006 and even acne in 2007.
Yet even the federal agency thought that Bayer’s commercials may have gone a bit too far the next year. In 2009, the FDA again went after Bayer for product quality, though still not Ocella deep vein thrombosis side effects.
There are a number of conditions that women should watch out for if they have been or are still using these birth control pills. The risk for Yasmin blood clot side effects are at least twice as high as those in birth control pills made by other manufacturers. As Top Class Actions has noted, blood clots can lead to strokes or deep vein thrombosis depending where the clot moves.
