New research has suggested birth control drugs like Yaz and Yasmin are more prone to causing blood clots than was previously thought. Based on newly unsealed documents Bayer may have withheld or framed the information on blood clots favorably. The research has prompted the Food and Drug Administration to consider new safety measures. Blood clots pose a significant risk as they can lead to heart attacks and strokes.
Commentary
This new research continues the downfall of the prescription birth control drugs like Yasmin and Yaz. Lawsuits have been filed in a number of states following serious side effects by users of the drugs. The common side effects like nausea or headaches usually do not warrant the high costs of filing a lawsuit. However blood clots which in addition to the possibility of heart attacks and strokes can cause blockages in lungs or blood vessels all of which can be fatal. These types of side effects far exceed the threshold of court costs and can certainly be an actionable injury.
