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.

 

Serious Yasmin® Side Effects

The range of severe Yasmin® side effects includes:

  • blood clots
  • breast lumps
  • depression
  • heart attack
  • hypertension (high blood pressure) and/or high cholesterol
  • kidney damage
  • liver damage (characterized by jaundice, stomach pain and/or dark urine)
  • migraines
  • pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lung's airways that significantly impair breathing and re-oxygenation of the blood)
  • severe allergic reactions (marked by facial or tongue swelling, hives and breathing difficulties)
  • stroke
  • unexplainable vaginal bleeding

Women developing any of the above conditions will typically experience some combination of the following symptoms:

  • abdominal pain
  • pain, swelling and/or sensitivity on a localized area of the skin (indicating a blood clot in that area)
  • feelings of despair and hopelessness
  • chest pain
  • confusion and disorientation
  • faintness and lightheadedness
  • breathing difficulties
  • numbness on one side of the body
  • vision problems (including blackened, blurry and/or double vision)

Should a woman start developing serious Yasmin® side effects, it's vital that she seek emergency medical care to prevent further health complications and, in the worst cases, save her life.

 

How to Start a Yasmin® Lawsuit

The first step to starting Yasmin® lawsuits is to set up an initial consultation with an experienced Yasmin® lawyer. During this meeting, prospective plaintiffs can:

  • Find out if they have a provable legal claim against Berlex Laboratories, Inc.
  • Learn more about the process of compiling and winning Yasmin® lawsuits
  • Get estimates regarding possible settlements, based on awards issued in past cases similar to their own
  • Get advice about whether filing an individual case or joining an already-progressing class action Yasmin® lawsuit is best for their needs and circumstances

Women who decide to stand up for their legal rights and pursue a Yasmin® lawsuit will benefit from delayed payments for legal fees, as Yasmin® lawyers work on contingency. Ultimately, injured Yasmin® patients can win compensation for losses including (but not limited to):

  • hospital bills
  • ongoing treatment costs
  • lost wages
  • permanent disabilities
  • pain and suffering
