Bayer Corporation reprimanded over Yaz birth control ads | Ohio Yaz injury lawyers

While you may have seen some YAZ ads, you may not be aware of the serious health consequences the drug could be causing to consumers.

We represent young women who after taking YAZ have experienced life-altering health conditions such as pulmonary embolisms, heart problems, blood clots, and gallbladder disease. We have filed lawsuits in federal court against the manufacturers of YAZ and other defendants to help our clients obtain fair compensation for the devastating impact YAZ may have had on their health. In addition to ethinyl estradiol, YAZ contains a drospirenone, which the manufacturers say is "a different kind of hormone" that may increase potassium levels. The manufacturers warn that women who have kidney or liver disease should not use YAZ because it could cause heart and health problems. .

Other concerns about the use of YAZ include serious health consequences such as blood clots that block a vein or artery, pulmonary embolisms, heart attacks, strokes, gallbladder disease, and hypertension.
 

   In 2008, the FDA has determined that Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in a glossy, slick television campaign overstated the therapeutic benefits of YAZ while minimizing the serious risk women using the drug face. The FDA forced Bayer to run corrective advertisements that come closer to setting the record straight. As the FDA pointed out in a warning letter to the company, YAZ has not been approved for treating common premenstrual syndrome and overstates the case for using the drug to treat all acne.
