The Risk of Stroke Related to Yaz Birth Control Examined

The people of Tennessee along with many people all across the country have personally been affected by the dangerous side effects relating to taking the Yaz birth control pill. One of the main side effects have been blood clots but this problem can lead to other serious problems such as a stroke. If you or someone you know have suffered blood clots, stroke, or any other life threatening side effect after taking Yaz, then you need to speak to a Tennessee personal injury and Tennessee Yaz lawyer right away. They will listen to your case and work with you to make sure you receive the compensation that is rightfully yours.

According to a new study, the amount of evidence related to the dangerous side effects of the Yaz birth control pill has increased. This pill was very popular at first but with the rise of information about the dangerous side effects, the sales have decreased. However, the Bayer Company who produced the medication has not recalled the product as of now. Information from a new study published on June 14, 2012 in The New England Journal of Medicine, has revealed that the overall risk of stroke relating to the drug is low, however, it revealed that women taking the Yaz pill containing drospirenone show an elevated risk of stroke than those people not taking hormonal contraceptive pills.

Several women that have developed dangerous side effects after using the Yaz pill have filed lawsuits against the Bayer Company. Studies just like this one as well as studies conducted by the Food and Drug Administration in October of 2011 are being used as evidence for women that hope to receive compensation for their suffering.

Cases similar to this one are being made against the Yaz birth control pill for people across the United States, including the people of Tennessee.
