Birth control tablets are a familiar sort of contraceptives nowadays, and the newer makes which are available like Yasmin, Yaz and Ocella have become popular extremely rapidly. There are claims that these new pills can successfully tackle medical conditions similar to pre-menstrual syndrome (also known as PMS), acne or PDD premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Although their side effects, several of which can be extremely dangerous, have not attracted an equivalent level of scrutiny.
Yes, it is true that women have indeed been taking oral contraceptives for a considerable length of time, and there haven’t been any life threatening side effects. Even so, these medicines aren’t the same. They contain drospirenone in addition to the customary estrogen and progesterone. Pharmacists were originally hoping that this wouldeffectively treat acne too.
Now, however, experts specializing in lawsuits for users of Yasmin have recommended adamantly that everyone must be told about the life threatening side effects. This could include issues like strokes, blood clots and pulmonary embolism and the risk that patients could actually die from it.
Problems like these result from taking drospirenone-based medication like Yasmin. Using Yasmin will lead to your blood’s potassium levels rising. Obviously, problem of this nature by itself is hazardous enough. But it can cause even more issues if you need medication like NSAIDS, for example - e.g. Motrin, or ACE inhibitors often prescribed for various ailments. When potassium levels rise overly high, the likelihood of other side effects increases. Inexplicably, the drug has not been withdrawn from sale either by the manufacturer or the Federal Drugs Agency and they have not publicized any warnings to the public in relation to the use of Yasmin.
Treatment isn’t really an option, but even so we certainly advise that you should consult a lawyer. Maybe you could consult with your physician about anticoagulants which can stop blood clots from occurring. You may also discuss the possibility of having a filter inserted into the vein which leads to your heart. But regrettably, other than these suggestions, those who have taken drugs which include drospirenone can merely keep checking on any health issues for the remainder of their lives. Any Yasmin lawyer can give excellent advice to people who have taken these medicines containing drospirenone and are only now experiencing any side effects as a result. By making contact with such lawyers, victims can examine their choices and might discover that they are eligible to take legal action.
If a victim is awarded compensation due to the skills of a qualified attorney, that money can help them pay off significant medical costs, or the cost of hours off their employment necessary for several tests or check ups. It could help pay for any treatments or surgeries they might need. Last but not least this may help relieve the strain that Yasmin has placed them under.
