Yasmin® Lawsuits
(800) 673-5138
Yasmin® lawsuits are personal injury cases that seek settlements for women injured after taking Yasmin® (drospirenone), a contraceptive pill also prescribed in the treatment of moderate acne and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) for menstruating women. Yasmin® may also be sold under the brand name Yaz, a form of drospirenone manufactured and distributed by Bayer.
Produced by Berlex Laboratories, Inc., Yasmin® has been reported to cause a variety of serious side effects since its FDA approval in May 2001. Women injured after taking Yasmin® will likely be entitled to compensation by pursuing a Yasmin® lawsuit.
