Did you know about the life threatening side effects of contraceptives?

Oral contraceptive pills are popularly used for birth control. These pills are also used to treat various conditions that can include hormone imbalances, irregular menstrual, acne, etc. Some women are led to believe that hormonal birth control is safe with relatively few side effects. Unfortunately, oftentimes the side effects are downplayed and they fail to understand the severity of side effects, which may even include death.

Yes, there are certain types of birth control pills such as Yaz Yasmin, Ocella, BeYaz and Gianvi that can increase the risk of developing medical conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) by three to four times.

A DVT is a blood clot that usually forms in the legs. Once a blood clot breaks off and travel to the lung, it can result in a pulmonary embolism (PE). A PE is the blockage in an artery in the lung, which can cause a yaz related death of tissue or Yasmin death.

These contraceptive pills contain estrogen and progestin that are two types of female hormones. Estrogen is known for producing chemicals that are essential for the blood clot formation. On the other hand, progestin makes blood vessels loosen up and broaden which allows blood to pool in the veins, which increases the risks of clots.

However, severity of these side effects is not just restricted to DVT, as it can also cause liver damage, kidney damage, stroke, cancer, heart attack, etc. Therefore, it is essential for every woman to discuss their condition with the doctor before taking birth control pills and candidly discuss whether the risks of Yaz outweigh are more than the benefits.

If you took any of the contraceptives like Yaz and experienced side effects such as deep vein thrombosis, you should immediately seek medical help and also consult a professional lawyer.

If you were injured you have a legal right to file a lawsuit against manufacturers of the pill. Your lawyer will determine based on the length of the medication usage and severity of the side effects whether you have a viable case.

Most experienced lawyers offer free consultations and do not charge any fee unless they win the case.
