Bayer Disputes Yaz and Yasmin Side Effects

by Peter Nero, May 2nd, 2011

In what came as another low blow to defective medication victims across the U.S., Bayer Pharmaceuticals is now disputing the findings that defective medications Yaz and Yasmin can result in a much higher risk of blood clots than other contraceptives. Victims who feel they have suffered life-altering side effects from Yaz and Yasmin are taking this denial of fault personally, and are outraged by Bayer's refusal to acknowledge and compensate their consumers.

In a recent press release, Bayer has indicated that the studies performed by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) could not be considered fact, and that their procedures and databases used resulted in unreliable results. Bayer then proceeded to release their own studies which showed that the risk associated with Yaz and Yasmin could be compared to that of other oral contraceptives.

Yaz and Yasmin Side Effects

According to a recent report on Bnet, about 190 women have died after taking Bayer's Yaz and Yasmin. With Yaz being Bayer's second biggest revenue generator, it is no wonder that we are witnessing hard-fought resistance to anything suggesting Yaz and Yasmin contraceptive pills are defective products, but several studies imply that they are. If you have taken Yasmin, and have experienced one of the following side effects, make sure to contact your primary care physician and an attorney immediately.

  1. Blood clots in the legs
  2. Heart attack
  3. Gall bladder disease
  4. Pancreatitis
  5. Stroke

Victims of product liability cases such as these usually have trouble accepting and properly dealing with their new situation. Being diagnosed with a life-threatening condition is one thing, but to find out that it may have been caused by the negligence of pharmaceutical manufacturers is a difficult concept to accept. If you have suffered injuries due to the negligence of this pharmaceutical company, contact a BISNAR | CHASE Los Angeles Yaz lawyer for a free professional evaluation of your case.
