Yaz Blood Circulation Problems

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella have been connected with an increased risk of suffering from serious, and sometimes fatal, blood circulation problems such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, heart attack or stroke.

What You Need to Know About Drospirenone

Yaz contains the synthetic progestin, drospirenone. Drospirenone functions as a diuretic that dehydrates the body and assists with controlling water retention. Drospirenone also causes the levels of potassium in the body to rise—a condition called hyperkalemia—which can lead to blood clotting on Yaz.

Blood clots can form in any part of the body and break loose, traveling to organs like the heart, lungs, and brain. If the clots lodge in the organs or arteries they can block the flow of blood and oxygen and cause life-threatening medical conditions or Yaz death.

If you have taken Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella, even for a short time, you may have experienced symptoms of blood circulation problems including:

• Sudden intense headaches
• Chest pain
• Coughing up blood
• Swelling or pain in your legs and arms
• Lower-leg pain
• Blurred vision or double vision or even loss of vision.

A patient who has experienced blood clotting on Yaz, a heart attack from Yaz, or a stroke from Yaz may have to take blood thinners for life. These drugs have serious side effects and can decrease the quality of and ability to enjoy life due to side effects and concerns about injury and bleeding.

Take Action for Your Health and Legal Rights

If you’re experiencing any of the Yaz symptoms and side effects mentioned, or even suspect you have medical issues caused by Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella, please speak to your doctor and seek immediate medical attention. You may also be able to take legal action against the birth control manufacturer.
