Studies executed on healthy, premenopausal women in the Netherlands determined that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella (Yasmin generic) suffered an raised risk of venous thrombosis as compared to non-users. The risks were increased as high as five times with oral contraceptive pills. These studies were published in August 2009. This was solely the beginning of the contention surrounding Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella and the consequent lawsuits to come involving Yaz side effects.
Mass Tort is simply civil lawsuit that involves a number of complainants. This action is taken against one or more corporate defendants in court. Unlike a class action where a group of people take it upon themselves to bring forth litigation jointly, in mass tort the original plaintiffs and law firms use mass media outlets to reach other possible plaintiffs. Those television and websites wondering if you are a loved one have been effected by a particular product are the result of mass tort status.
Lesser know birth control side effects such as Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis and even death have also been reported as a result of using Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz. With the clinical studies available on online, it is more essential than ever to arm yourself with knowledge before determining if a pharaceutical is right for you. Something as ubiquitous as ‘the pill’ can cause serious damage or even kill you if you are not mindful.
