Many women have experienced serious side effects after taking the prescription birth control medication Yaz, generically known as drospirenone. Yaz attorneys are defective drug lawyers, and represent women who have been affected by this drug. If you have taken this medication, and have experienced negative side effects as a result there is information regarding your legal rights and options against the manufactures. A good Yaz attorney will guide you and your family with care and benevolence.
Background on Yaz
Bayer HealthCare is the manufacturer of Yaz and Yasmin, which are two variations of the same drug. The key difference between them is the level of ethinyl estradiol. The generic form of Yasmin is called Ocella.
Yaz has been linked to serious side effects, with potentially deadly side effects, such as a heart attack, stroke and liver damage. Women who have gone through Yaz side effects should file a defective drug claim against Bayer HealthCare, and seek compensation for any damages, including, but not limited to:
•    Medical expenses
•    Ongoing treatment costs
•    Permanent disabilities
•    Lost wages
•    Emotional pain and suffering
Yaz attorneys should be willing to fight aggressively for any injured patients, and get the recompense they merit.
Yaz FDA Warnings
There has been an increase, over the years, of patients reporting potentially fatal Yaz side effects. In 2008 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took notice, and required Bayer HealthCare produce a new ad campaign because their current ad campaign would overstate Yaz's uses while also down playing the severity of its side effects. October of the following year Bayer HealthCare stated they had 129 Yaz related lawsuits lodged against them.
This, however, was not the first problem the FDA had with Bayer HealthCare. In September of 2009 the FDA had cited that Bayer HealthCare had been dispensing poor quality shipments of Yaz. Instead of maintaining the quality of each individual batch they chose to monitor the 'average' quality of every shipment.
Starting a Yaz Lawsuit
If you or a loved one has suffered from any Yaz side effects it is important to contact an experienced attorney that will help you build a strong case, and get you proper compensation. It is important to know your legal rights, and have an attorney who will guide you through with your best interests in heart.
