What is YAZ/Yasmin?

The Yaz® birth control pill is taken orally once daily to prevent pregnancy. Yaz differs from other birth control methods in that it contains a progestin hormone called drospirenone, which can increase potassium levels in the bloodstream. 

 

Is the risk higher for YAZ/Yasmin higher than a normal birth control pill?

Since its approval by the FDA, Yaz has been linked with a number of serious, adverse health problems.  On August 14, 2009 a report in the British Medical Journal found that birth control medication containing the synthetic hormone called drospirenone was 1.5 to 2 times as likely to cause life-threatening blood clots as other contraceptive medications.  Yaz, one such drospirenone-containing contraceptive pill, was approved for sale by the FDA in March of 2006 and has been aggressively marketed to consumers ever since.

 

How do I know if I have an YAZ/Yasmin case? 

We cannot answer that question without speaking to you personally.  No two people are the same, your injury might be different than your sister, friend, co-worker, or any of our clients.  Please, for the sake of yourself and your family, call us at (800) 701-3672 and speak to one of our trained team members.  An attorney will look over your case and let you know what they believe the best course of action is for you.


 

Should I continue to use Ortho Evra?
That is a decision which you and your medical provider should discuss.  Only a medical provider can tell you if Ortho Evra is not right for you.
