Birth control tablets are a standard type of contraceptives in these modern times, and the newer types which are available, including Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz have become well known in no time at all. There have been claims that these new drugs can treat medical problems such as pre-menstrual syndrome (otherwise known as PMS), acne or PDD. Although their side effects, some of which are possibly very dangerous, have not experienced corresponding levels of promotion.
Sure, women have been using drugs like these for some time, and major side effects have not been identified. All the same, these drugs are not the same. They contain drospirenone, in addition to the common estrogen and progesterone. People were hoping that this could be used to treat acne conditions too, using a 24/4 cycle.
However, people specializing in lawsuits for patients who have been prescribed yasmin have submitted categorically that everyone should be made aware of these dangerous side effects. These could include dangers like blood clots and pulmonary embolism, gallbladder problems and the risk that users might ultimately even die from it. These potential issues are exacerbated by using birth control tablets which include drospirenone. Taking Yasmin will lead to your potassium levels rising. After all, a problem such as this is frightening enough. But it could cause other difficulties if you need medication such as NSAIDS, for example — say, Motrin or ACE inhibitors for various sicknesses. If potassium levels are dangerously high, the risk of side effects increases. Yet, the drugs have not been recalled either by the makers or the Federal Drugs Agency and they have not published any warning to the general public about using these prescriptions. Treatment isn’t really an option, even so you are strenuously encouraged that you should speak with a lawyer. Maybe you could consult with your physician about anticoagulants which can stop blood clots occurring. Or you could have a small metal filter implanted into the vein which leads to your heart. Unfortunately, other than these possibilities, people who have taken drospirenone-based oral contraceptives can merely check any health concerns for the remainder of their lives.
Attorneys who work closely with Yasmin cases can provide valuable guidance to women who may have taken these drugs which include drospirenone and have subsequently experienced side effects as a result. By consulting such lawyers, victims can consider their choices and might decide to take legal action.
Any compensation obtained, with the guidance of an expert attorney, could assist them with defraying any medical bills, or the cost of lost working hours resulting from all those tests and doctors appointments. What’s mmore, it could meet the cost of any pills or surgeries that may have been needed. These things might help alleviate the constant stress that Yasmin has caused for them.
