Don't Use YAZ - Recall and Lawsuits

Finally, there are legal television commercials against the birth control pill YAZ and Yasmine! I have several friends including myself who have had serious side-effects with this pill and i encourage anyone who is still taking this pill to really search for an alternative solution.
These pills are not worth it!
Please educate yourself and ask your doctor for options . . . YOU HAVE OPTIONS!


Throughout the United States, a number of Yaz birth control lawsuits have been filed against Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., which was formerly known as Berlex, Inc. and Berlex Laboratories, Inc., alleging that the drug makers:

Failed to adequately warn consumers and the medical community about the potential risk of Yaz side effects.

Failed to adequately test and research Yaz birth control before placing it on the market, which could have shown that users will face an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, gallbladder complications and other life-threatening health problems.

Failed to issue a Yaz recall or remove the birth control pill from the market after it became apparent that it is an unreasonably dangerous drug, for which the harmful side effects outweigh any potential benefits provided over other available birth control pills.
Aggressively marketed Yaz and encouraged misuse and overuse despite the known Yaz dangers to maximize profits at the expense of users’ health.

The drug makers had sole access to facts concerning the potential Yaz problems, and ignored the correlation between their drug and potentially life-threatening side effects. Yaz safety concerns were concealed and misrepresentations were made to to convince potential users and the medical community to use the birth control pill instead of other available products. This increased the drug makers’ profits at the expense of women throughout the United States.

Wow! As I've mentioned before, I have SO many friends who have taken this BC and ALL of them have had crazy side effects. The odd thing is that none of the side effects were anything similar to the others'. I honestly believe that with even more research, they will find even more reasons to pull this drug. It is studies like these that make me constantly question the whole legal drug scene. It's scary that we are taught to put so much trust in something that really we have every right and responsibility to question. Thanks for sharing this!
