Live ChatWhat Damages Can You Recover From Your Yaz Injuries?
The birth control pills Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella have been linked to life-threatening side effects and death in the women taking them. Yaz is believed to dangerously raise the level of potassium in the blood because of the ingredient drospirenone, a synthetic progesterone.
Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella are the only birth control pills on the market which contain drospirenone. High levels of potassium lead to the condition hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia causes life-threatening side effects such as heart rhythm disturbances, stroke, heart attack, blood clots, kidney problems, gallbladder disease, and pancreatitis.
You May Be Able to Get Compensation for Yaz Injuries
If you’ve been injured from taking Yaz, Yasmin, or Ocella, or your family member suffered Yaz death, you could be entitled to receive compensation for your injuries and damages. The compensation could include:
- Past and future medical bills
- Disability
- Loss of income
- Emotional distress
- Loss of quality of life
- Pain and suffering
- Funeral and burial costs (in wrongful death cases)
In a class action settlement, the case is settled in a lump sum which is divided among the members of the class. In the MDL (multi-district litigation), each plaintiff settles their case individually or they are awarded individual damages.

It’s good to know you have an outlet after having such a bad ordeal!
