Controlling Type 2 Diabetes

For oral contraceptives, millions of women place their trust in pharmaceutical companies. Those drugs are supposed to do their job — prevent pregnancy - and do nothing to harm the user. Sadly, that is not the case with Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella.

Each of these birth control pill brands - and these only, fortunately — has the drug DRSP, or drospirenone. It is believed to cause strokes, blood clots, high blood pressure, heart attacks and even death. Thus, women who take Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella for birth control are at risk.

Women who suffer from such defective drugs have a legal right to seek just and fair financial compensation for their losses, including medical bills, lost salary and pain and suffering. To achieve this, they may need a defective drugs lawyer from Jim S. Adler & Associates, a leading personal injury law firm which serves Texans from offices in Houston, Dallas and San Antonio.

A defective drugs lawsuit by users of Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella can hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for their negligence in the legal arena. Bayer is the manufacturer of Yaz and Yasmin, while Barr produces the drug’s generic brand, called Ocella.

As well as being a potential health hazard, Yasmin and Yaz have been advertised and marketed with false claims. The federal Food and Drug Administration and the attorneys general of 27 states complained to Bayer about its TV ads for Yaz and Yasmin, which made it sound as if the birth control pills reduced discomfort from PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder), PMS (premenstrual syndrome) and mild acne. These claims were not true, and Bayer had to air other ads to counter its own false claims.

Women who suffer from Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella should be wary of these symptoms and side effects: sudden dizziness, fainting, confusion, slurred speech, severe headaches, sudden shortness of breath, weakness, tingling or numbness in the legs or arms, weakness on one side of the body, vision problems, coughing up blood, chest pain or pain in the jaw or left arm, and pain, warmth or swelling in the groin or calf.

Those with such symptoms should see a physician immediately. At a later time they also should consider alerting a defective drugs attorney to seek the economic recovery to which they are entitled under the law.

Jim S. Adler & Associates is an established Texas personal injury law firm with offices in Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Channelview. The law firm offers a free case review and represents victims of auto, car, SUV, truck, motorcycle and other traffic accidents, as well as defective drug victims.
