Yasmin Blood Clot Problems Sideline Woman
By John Curran
Tanya Perry took an oral contraceptive that she says left her with both Yasmin pulmonary embolism side effects as well as problems with deep vein thrombosis, thanks to the Bayer Pharmaceutical product. Perry alleges in a product liability lawsuit against Bayer that the drugmaker should have warned women of the risk of Yasmin blood clots, which the FDA and researchers say is higher than with other contraception options.
Perry joins thousands of other women who have dealt with related drug problems like Yaz blood clot side effects. Perry did not mention it in her Yasmin lawsuit, but clotting in the lung can lead to problems with breathing as well as death if the blood clot detaches. Yasmin pulmonary embolism side effects can also lead to stroke depending on where it moves. Unfortunately, unless it is diagnosed quickly, the condition may not be diagnosed quickly enough.
While Bayer has brought a new contraceptive onto the market, many women still take Yasmin, especially now that it has gone generic and is therefore less expensive. While some Yaz blood clot side effects are difficult to detect, there are some warning signs. Thickened blood in the lungs can lead to difficulty breathing and an increased pulse rate, and women should immediately see a doctor if they experience these symptoms. Ocella deep vein thrombosis diagnoses often come after a woman has a discolored portion of the skin that is painful to the touch.
It is unclear whether or not Perry would have been better off taking the new Bayer drug, but the silver lining of her Yasmin lawsuit is that Bayer Pharmaceutical has been paying settlements that average more than $200,000 for the past year. Since she has not dealt with gallbladder problems, she may join other women in receiving a payout without the lengthy trial process. This is also true of other women who have dealt with clotting issues like Ocella deep vein thrombosis diagnoses.
