Some women with Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz side effects involving deep vein thrombosis (DVT) may be unaware they have the condition since a DVT is often absent of symptoms. Please contact us for the latest Yaz lawsuit status and filing deadlines. The litigation is currently ongoing and claims are continuing to be filed with the first cases expected to go to trial in 2011. This is especially dangerous because the first indication that blood clots are present in the deep veins may be symptoms related to a pulmonary embolism. Most diagnosed cases of PE are caused by clots that break away from the deep (more...)
Women have continued to report Yaz side effects after taking this birth control pill. The hormones in Yasmin, Ocella and Yaz birth control – estrogen and drospirenone – have resulted in several medical problems for women. Many of these problems stem from the formation of abnormal blood clots, which develop in the deep veins of the legs. Pulmonary embolism, hypertension, stroke, and heart attack are among the secondary complications caused by a Yaz deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Yaz side effects involving a DVT may present few symptoms, making the condition difficult to diagnose and treat. (more...)
Yaz gallbladder disease problems are often the result of gallstones that form due to excess cholesterol in the bile fluid and reduced activity of the gallbladder. Please contact us for the latest Yaz litigation news and information. The stones block the passage of bile into the cystic duct en route to the small intestine. As a result, the bile sits within the organ and slowly turns into a sludge-like material. This causes the inner lining of the gall bladder’s wall to become inflamed, leading to abdominal pain and occasionally, fever, nausea, and vomiting.
Because the gall bladder is not (more...)
It is estimated that nearly 500,000 people undergo gallbladder removal surgery each year. Some of these patients suffer from Yaz gallbladder disease side effects caused by symptomatic gallstones. The stones block bile fluid from exiting the organ, causing the inner lining to become inflamed. This triggers severe abdominal pain. While medications can reduce the pain’s severity, they are unable to resolve the underlying condition. Thus, subsequent gall bladder attacks are likely. Doctors usually suggest having the gallbladder surgically removed in order to prevent future episodes. Please contact (more...)
Women affected by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz problems continue to look at their legal options including filing a Yaz lawsuit. Yasmin side effects involving blood clots can form in the superficial or deep veins. The significance of the latter is far greater than the former. Clots in the superficial veins rarely cause serious problems because they usually remain attached to the venous lining. Over time, most of them dissolve. Clots in the deep veins – a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) – can damage the blood vessels and one-way valves that regulate the direction in which your (more...)
Currently there is no national Yaz class action lawsuit and claims are being pursued individually and have been consolidated into what is referred to as “multi-district litigatation”. Yaz and blood clots can cause several dangerous side effects, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, stroke, and heart attack. Clots (also called thrombi) can form due to the two hormones contained in this birth control pill: estrogen and drospirenone. This latter compound is an artificial progestin that sharply increases the risk of abnormal clotting; Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella are currently the (more...)
Yaz Gallbladder Disease: What Is Postcholecystectomy Syndrome?
Currently Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz litigation is ongoing and there haven’t been any Yaz lawsuit settlement amounts to report for women suffering from gallbladder problems. Doctors normally recommend laparoscopic cholecystectomy to resolve Yaz gallbladder disease symptoms. This is a surgical procedure during which your gallbladder’s connections to nearby structures are cut and the organ is removed. Some women have suffered dangerous bile duct injuries, infection, and other problems as a result of undergoing the procedure.

Yaz Gallstones: Treating Bile Duct Stones With ERCP And Endoscopic Sphincterotomy
Yaz gallbladder injury involving gallstones may develop when cholesterol-heavy bile sits within the gallbladder and stagnates. The excess cholesterol forms tiny crystals, which clump together into larger particles. These particles form the basis of stones. Some people think this process occurs because Yaz birth control causes the liver to secrete higher-than-normal levels of cholesterol while reducing gallbladder motility (i.e. contractions).
Stones can remain within the gall bladder or migrate into the common bile (more...)
The Background on Birth Control Pills
The Yasmin and Yaz brand of birth control pills by Bayer HealthCare and the generic Ocella are considered unique because in addition to preventing pregnancy, it can also help diminish symptoms of pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and reduce signs of acne.

If you have suffered serious Yaz or Yasmin side effects please contact us regarding being part of a Yaz birth (more...)
There is currently a Yaz class action type of litigation referred to as “Multidistrict litigation” that also involves Ocella and Yasmin birth control. This forum helps coordinate discovery and the exchange of information between the manufacturer and plaintiffs. Claims are still being brought on an individual basis due to the differences in the types of injuries women have suffered and the effect of those injuries both financially and physically.
