Yaz Birth Control Dangers: Patient Death Probed By Swiss Agency
Bloomberg News reports that Bayer AG’s Yaz contraceptive is part of an investigation by a Swiss health regulator into the death of a young woman who took the pill. The Swissmedic agency and an investigative judge are looking into the case of the woman, who died from the effects of pulmonary embolism.
The serious Yaz problems reported include blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, strokes, and gall bladder damage. In certain cases, women have died due to these adverse effects of Yasmin and Yaz.
Lawsuits filed against Bayer, the manufacturer of Yaz and Yasmin, by women represented by Lieff Cabraser allege that the company failed to adequately warn patients and physicians of the increased risk of serious adverse effects from Yasmin and Yaz. Meanwhile, Bayer touted the birth control advantages of the drugs in television advertisements.
Lieff Cabraser represents patients injured and families of loved ones who died while taking prescription drugs with dangerous side effects, including women taking Yaz birth control or Yasmin oral contraceptive who suffered dangerous side effects. Contact to a Yaz injury attorney at Lieff Cabraser.
