The trial lawyers at Langdon and Emison, The Onder Law Firm, and Standly and Hamilton have formed a joint venture combining their talents and resources to aggressively pursue justice for the thousands of people who have been injured or killed by dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. Our Yaz lawers are evaluating claims on behalf of women who have been prescribed and taken Yaz, Yazmin, and their generic, Ocella and have been victims of its serious side effects including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack, gallbladder removal, or death.
Our Yaz lawyers, evaluating the effects of Yaz, propose that Bayer Pharmaceuticals has been negligent in their marketing of Yaz, Yasmin, and the generic Ocella. Through their aggressive marketing campaign, Bayer minimized the health risks and exaggerated the benefits for its consumers. The FDA cited Bayer in 2008 stating that the Yaz television advertisements were untrue, and that Yaz and Yasmin contain additional risks because of the chemical makeup, as compared to other oral contraceptives. Bayer launched a $20 million corrective advertising campaign, but for many it is too little, too late, and not loud enough. Many consumers have developed DVT, PE, stroke, heart attack, and many have died without understanding the risk of Drospirenone. If you or someone you know has been a victim of Yaz conditions, contact our lawyers at 877-DRUG101.
The Yaz lawyers at Langdon and Emison, The Onder Law Firm, and Standly and Hamilton are investigating the prescription of Yaz and the incidences of severe side effects in otherwise healthy women. Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella have been prescribed for many different conditions such as:
□ Contraception
□ Acne treatment
□ PMS (premenstrual syndrome)
□ PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder)
□ Menstrual regulation
The severe side effects of the active ingredient Drospirenone should be of concern for doctors and consumers.
Our Yaz lawyers are investigating the science behind this new 4th generation of synthetic progestin (a hormone) called Drospirenone. Drospirenone is a known diuretic that leaches sodium from blood and tissue including the heart. Elevated potassium salt levels in blood favor the process of blood clotting. Areas of the circulatory system where blood flow is relatively slow offer more time and better chance of blood clot formation. If the blood clot grows too large, a blockage of that blood vessel occurs. When blockage is prolonged, areas around the blocked vein or veins get cut off from nutrient and oxygen supply brought by blood. In some instances where deep vein thrombosis is not detected and treated early, amputations have occurred.
The most serious conditions occur when a blood clot breaks off and is carried in circulation to other blood vessels. When the blood clot reaches smaller blood vessels, it creates a blockage. If the clot is deposited in the coronary arteries that supply the heart with blood, the person is likely to suffer a heart attack. If the clot is deposited in the lungs, the patient incurs a pulmonary embolism or a stroke if this happens in the brain. The heart, brain and lungs are the most vital organs for life and if affected may result in definite death. Contact our Yaz lawyers at 877-DRUG101 if you or someone you know has been affected by any of these symptoms.
Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella present extreme side effects that put consumers at an increased risk of life-threatening conditions. Together, the lawyers at the three firms won hundreds of cases and received hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements and recoveries for their injured clients and their families.
