Chicago Prescription Drug Negligence Lawyer
David S. Jasmer has helped achieve over $85 million total in verdicts and settlements since 1996.
Yaz, a popular birth control pill, has often been prescribed for other purposes as well, such as acne control, weight control and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) reduction as well as for contraception. Also known as Drospirenone, it has been taken by many young women in their 20s and 30s for a number of years.
It is important for these women and their doctors to consider reported risks associated with taking Yaz. Also, since the drug was approved for use as a contraceptive, it is questionable whether patients understand that it has not necessarily been approved for the other uses. Talk to a Chicago Yaz drug interactions lawyer for more information if you suffered injury or harm when taking this drug.
Yaz has Been Associated With Heart Attacks, Strokes and Kidney Failure
Some plaintiffs in lawsuits who have taken Yaz have claimed harmful effects including the following:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Embolism
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Kidney failure
- Blood clots
