Reports of Yaz side effects continue to rise as the manufacturers of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella prepare themselves for further litigation and more future cases. Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, makers of Yasmin and Yaz, and Barr Pharmaceuticals, makers of the generic version Ocella have been bombarded with allegement extending from downplaying the severeness of side effects in their adverts to knowingly unleashing a dangerous and potentially fatal product on American women.

Among the previous disputes surrounding Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella birth control, the drugs also include drospirenone, an element not in other oral contraceptives. The British Medical Journal released studies in August 2009 establishing a higher risk of venous blood clots in adult females taking drospirenone as opposed to those who received other oral contraceptives. In that same month, the Food & Drug Administration issued an unrelated warning letter to Bayer Pharmaceuticals, makers of Yasmin, for using low-quality batches of drospirenone from a plant in Germany. For the benefit of public interest and wellbeing, these articles have been made available free online.

Any women that have been hurt as a result of taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella may be entitled to recompense. Many lawyers and legal counsel agencies such as thelegaladvocate.com now extend assistance to anyone living with side effects and health issues as a direct result of using Yasmin contraception. Now that more women across the U.S. are coming forward and filing suit, the legal system is moving closer to furnishing justice for those who were misled by the birth control manufacturers and possibly their doctors.
