The birth control pill is a well established form of contraceptives in these modern times, and some of the newer makes which are available including Yaz, Ocella and Yasmin, have gained renown in no time. People claim that these new tablets can successfully treat issues such as pre-menstrual syndrome (or PMS), acne or PDD. However their side effects, which are possibly incredibly dangerous, have not drawn similar amounts of attention.
Of course women have indeed been using family planning tablets for a considerable length of time, and there have not been any serious side effects. However, these oral contraceptive pills work differently. They contain drospirenone alongside the common female hormones. Its manufacturers were originally very hopeful that this could be used toeffectively treat acne conditions, based on a 24/4 cycle.
However, lawyers who specialize in legal cases connected to Yasmin have said in no uncertain terms that everyone should be informed of the side effects. This might include issues like gallbladder problems, blood clots and pulmonary embolism and possibly death.
Issues such as these are exacerbated by taking drospirenone-based oral contraceptives. Taking Yasmin will likely cause the potassium levels in your blood to increase. Such an occurrence by itself is threatening enough. However, it could cause additional problems if you are taking medicine such as NSAIDS, for example — for example Motrin or ACE inhibitors prescribed for various illnesses. If potassium levels get too high, the risk of extra side effects also rises. Shockingly, the drug has not been withdrawn from stockists either by the makers or the Federal Drugs Agency and they have not issued any warning to the general public about using Yasmin.
Treatment isn’t available, but even so we will advise that you seek legal advice. You could ask your physician about taking anticoagulant medicine to prevent blood clots occurring. Or you could have a filter inserted into one of the veins which lead to your heart. But unfortunately, beyond these suggestions, patients who are at risk from the effects listed above can only make an effort at remaining vigilant and keep an eye on any health concerns and learn to live with them.
Lawyers who work closely with Yasmin related claims can provide accurate guidance to people who have taken these drugs which include drospirenone and have experienced any side effects. By talking to legal experts, patients can consider their choices and might discover that they are eligible to take legal action. If a victim is awarded compensation as a result of the skills of an excellent lawyer, that money can help them meet large medical bills, or compensate for hours out of their employment necessitated for multiple treatments or check ups. What’s mmore, it could help to pay the bills for any pills and operations that are needed. It might also alleviate the considerable stress that Yasmin has caused for them.
