Yasmin Lawsuit

How Yasmin works
Yasmin® is a popularly used contraceptive pill that is produced by the German pharmaceutical giant Bayer. The basic mechanism of the medicine is to stop the release of an egg from the ovary. In addition to this it also leads to changes in the uterine and cervical lining and thickens the vaginal fluid; making it difficult for the sperm to get to the uterus or for the fertilized egg to attach itself to the uterus. Women who are older than fourteen years and whose menstrual cycle has begun can use Yasmin for the treatment of acne.


Side Effects Associated with Yasmin
Although the medicine is quite popular amongst women for contraception, it has been associated with serious medical side effects. Some of the most common side effects include nausea, headaches, vomiting, swelling in the ankles/feet, fluid retention, breast tenderness, weight change and bloating. Women who are new to the medicine may initially have vaginal bleeding between periods or experience irregular or missed periods.

Some of the other side effects that are linked to the drug are quite serious and potentially fatal. These include pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, stroke and heart attack.  The drug manufacturer was sued by the relatives of a Canadian woman who died of pulmonary embolism after taking Yasmin. According to the warnings issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2011, the birth control pill can increase the risk of blood clots by up to 74 percent in comparison to other pills available in the market. A Danish study in the same year also indicated that the drugs containing hormone dsopirenone, used in Yasmin too, have approximately twice the risk of a blood clot. Numerous other studies have come up with similar findings.

Other conditions that can result from the use of the drug are: unusual sweating, shortness of breath, chest pains, confusion, swelling or pain in the groin area, weakness or stiffening of the arms and legs, slurred speech, vision change and blood in coughs. If you are experiencing any of these side effects you should visit your doctor immediately.

Yasmin Lawsuits
The above mentioned side effects have led to a number of people to file claims against Bayer for compensation. The basis of these claims is that the drug manufacturer failed to adequately disclose the medical consequences of using this medication. The company stated in 2012 that Yasmin lawsuits in the U.S. alone have gone over 402 million dollars.  The company has resolved close to 1900 cases where it was suspected that Yasmin caused clots which may lead to strokes or heart attacks. It is expected that lawsuits related to Yasmin will increase in the future and for this reason the company has more than doubled its monetary reserves for this purpose.
