Health side effects associated with Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella
Reported side effects of using the birth control pills Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella include:
- Blood clots in the legs, or deep vein thrombosis
- Blood clots in the lungs, or (pulmonary embolism)
- Stroke and heart attack
- Gall bladder disease
- Pancreatitis
Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella are fourth-generation birth control pills containing a synthetic progestin called drospirenone. Some specialists believe that drospirenone increases a woman's risk of developing blood clots or experiencing a stroke or heart attack.
In addition to being used for birth control, this contraceptive is often used to treat premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).
Yasmin and Yaz were originally manufactured by Berlex Laboratories and are currently manufactured by Bayer Healthcare. Generic Yasmin, also called Ocella, is marketed by Teva Pharmaceuticals.
To date, neither the FDA nor any manufacturer has moved to recall these popular and widely prescribed birth control pills.
Yaz lawsuits
There currently is no class-action suit against the manufacturer of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella. Instead, attorneys and courts have pursued multi-district litigation (MDL).
Multi-district litigation is different from a class action in that each individual files their own claim. In a class-action suit one person sues on behalf of all victims.
Yaz lawsuits frequently claim the following negligence on the part of the manufacturer:
- Marketing and selling Yaz as safe and effective for use in the prevention of pregnancy
- Failure to adequately warn consumers of unreasonable and dangerous side effects some of which are life-threatening
- Failure to conduct adequate pre-clinical testing and post-marketing studies to determine the safety and side effects of Yaz
- Failure to use ordinary care in designing, testing and manufacturing Yaz
- Failure to exercise due care when advertising and promoting Yaz
