Yaz birth control pill health problems grab national attention | Yaz lawyers

Our Yaz heawlth problem lawsuit attorneys were interested to read the article, "The Mass Tort of the Year: Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella," found in The American Trial Lawyer magazine.

Read part of the article here:

When the birth control pills Yasmin and Yaz hit the market a few years ago, they were touted as the new frontier of contraception drugs, which could not only prevent pregnancy but also cure acne and pre-menstrual syndrome. Like most birth control pills, Yaz and Yasmin are "combination" pills, containing both estrogen and a progestin hormone to suppress ovulation, fertilization, and implantation.

It is the unique progestin in the pills, desperinone (drsp), which was behind the hype that the drugs provided benefits beyond pregnancy prevention. However, drsp has recently become the center of attention for another reason - its link to possible health problems.

Initially produced by Berlex Laboratories in 2001, Yasmin was the first birth control pill to contain drsp. Berlex later introduced Yaz using the same drsp hormone, but with less estrogen. In 2006, Bayer purchased Berlex and began an aggressive marketing campaign for the pills. In July 2008, Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. introduced a generic version named Ocella. Since the drsp-containing pills have been on the market, the advertising has primarily focused on them being "birth control plus," addressing acne and PMS, in addition to providing contraception.
