Seeger Weiss Investigating Injury Claims Associated with Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella
Seeger Weiss LLP is investigating injury claims associated with the popular birth control drugs Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella. Recent reports suggest that these prescription medications could be putting millions of young women at risk of serious side effects, including stroke, heart attack, blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and even death. A recent study published by the British Medical Journal demonstrated that birth control products containing the active ingredient contained in Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella - drospirenone - carried a risk of blood clots nearly double that of other birth control medications. Other reports have associated drospirenone with an increased risk of gall bladder disease, resulting in removal.
YAZ and Yasmin are manufactured by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Ocella is the generic equivalent of Yasmin, manufactured by Barr Laboratories. Bayer has previously received warnings from the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for advertisements that overstated the benefits of Yaz and which minimized the potential safety risks associated with the drug. As a part of a subsequent agreement with the FDA and attorneys general in 27 states, Bayer began running a new ad campaign in February 2009 to correct the information conveyed by deceptive Yaz commercials.
