Yaz Blood Clot Cases

More and more women are making the responsible choice when it comes to birth control and choosing to use a method of oral contraceptive to protect against unwanted pregnancy. One of the more common oral contraceptives on the market today is Yaz, also known as Yasmin or Ocella. Many women are stunned and appalled to learn that there have been cases all across American and around the world where Yasmin birth control has lead to serious conditions including DVT, heart attack, strokes, PE and even death. Women turn to Yaz for protected against pregnancy; however, they are risking more than they realize by doing so.

Yaz and Blood Clots Incidents Reported

There are currently at least 40 different cases across America against the Bayer Pharmaceutical Corporation, who is the makers of Yaz birth control. In all of these cases, women are suffering from life threatening conditions caused by Yaz blood clots including heart attacks, strokes, gallbladder disease deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) and sudden death.

Risks of Yaz Blood Clots

However, for some women, it is simply too late. Take 24 year old Tanya Hayes, an Australian student who died this year after taking Yasmin for just four months. The young woman, who was otherwise healthy, began to take Yasmin as part of an acne treatment. She suffered from breathlessness and a hard nasty cough, but, like most busy young students, ignored these somewhat common symptoms of stress.

However, she then collapsed outside a restaurant and died less than five hours later after a pulmonary embolism – blood clotting – in her lungs. Hayes was otherwise healthy and had the whole world ahead of her. The heartbroken family is left dumbfounded about what could have gone wrong and all signs point to Yaz birth control.

Filing a Lawsuit against Yaz

Perhaps the scariest thing about the risk of blood clots from Yaz is that anyone who takes Yasmin/Yaz birth control is actually at risk. Those who smoke, have diabetes, have a history of blood clots, are over the age of 35 and have high cholesterol are even more at risk; however, you do not have to have any of these conditions to be at risk – taking Yaz birth control will put any woman, young or old, healthy or not, at risk for blood clot Yaz conditions.
