The new oral contraceptive that came out some years ago called Yaz was a real hot commodity for young women and teens. It promised all of these WONDERFUL results like less pimples, less PMS, and easier monthly cycles. Yes, it may have helped in these areas, only to cause major destruction in the long haul.
There is something different about Yaz in comparison to most of the older/original birth control pills. Most 28 day oral contraceptives contain just Ethinyl Estradiol, an oral form of Estrogen. Yaz not only contains Ethinyl Estradoil, but it also contains a synthetic steroid (progestin) hormone called Dospirenone. This is the ingredient which has been known to be dangerous to women (especially those who smoke).
Women of all ages (especially young women) were so enchanted by the Yaz commercials on TV that they just HAD to have it. Yaz has been known to cause blood clots, strokes, pulmonary emboli, gallbladder disease, sudden cardiac death and heart attack. This drug is still on the market, except now, it has a Warning Label. If you or anyone you know has been taking Yaz and is having any of these health problems, please give us a call: 1-888-WE-MEAN-IT (936-3264), we are here to help with defective drugs and products liability cases.
