Reports of Yaz side effects continue to rise as the makers of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella ready themselves for further litigation and more future suits. Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, makers of Yasmin and Yaz, and Barr Pharmaceuticals, makers of the generic version Ocella have been barraged with allegations running from downplaying the severeness of side effects in their advertisements to wittingly unleashing a dangerous and potentially lethal product on American women.

A red flag was raised when women in their 20s and 30s were suddenly falling victim to stroke and blood clots after being put on Yasmin. Young, healthy individuals who were on this brand of contraceptive method for as little as a few months were exhibiting symptoms of major side effects and serious health risks. Ischemic stroke, heart arrhythmia, and pulmonary embolism are just some of the serious Yasmin side effects allegedly experienced by women put on this oral contraceptive.

Little know birth control side effects such as stroke-related vision loss and seizures have also been reported as a result of using Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz. With the research available on the internet, 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 careful.
