Yaz Birth Control Lawsuits

  • Home

Longo Legal, PLLC is reviewing potential lawsuits for users of the Yasmin or Yaz birth control pill. Many women have suffered serious side-effects from Yaz including blood-clot injuries or heart problems. Yaz is an oral contraceptive sold by Bayer. Yasmin is an older contraceptive and has essentially the same medical ingredients as Yaz.

YAZ SETTLEMENT

Many women have taken these two medications and suffered blood-clots or other serious injuries. If you have taken Yaz or Yasmin, you also may be entitled to financial compensation through a Yaz settlement. The injuries that may entitle you to compensation are:

  • Heart Attack or Stroke
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
  • Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
  • Gallbladder Disease
  • Death as the result of any of these above

If you are a candidate for Yaz recovery, Longo Legal, can review your potential case at no charge to you. There would be no fees or expenses unless your lawsuit is filed and recovery is obtained. To review a potential case, please request a free consultation.

REVIEW OF YOUR CASE

Yaz is a birth control pill that was first approved by the FDA in March 2006 to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It’s medical name is droperinone and ethinyl estradiol. Yaz was originally approved purely as a contraceptive. But, in 2006, Yaz was also approved to treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Further, in January 2007, it was approved to treat moderate acne in women who already were using a birth control.

As an oral contraceptive, Yaz contains two ingredients: ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone. Drospirenone can increase blood potassium levels, a disorder known as known as hyperkalemia. This may be the reason that women who take Yaz have had heart issues and other side effects. Women who have pre-existing conditions like kidney, liver and adrenal disease could be particularly susceptible to Yaz side effects.

Reviewing a Yaz Lawsuit Claim 

If you took Yaz or Yasmin, finding out if you have a potential claim is easy. If you call Longo Legal, PLLC, we can walk you through it. The first step is to get some preliminary information over the phone. The initial phone call and consultation cost you nothing. You will not pay Longo Legal, PLLC anything towards your Yaz lawsuit unless a recovery is made on your behalf. Call Longo Legal at (855) 566-4648 to see if you qualify.
