Yaz\u00ae and Yasmin\u00ae are simple oral contraceptives prescribed to women who want to prevent pregnancy. The contraceptive contains drospirenone, a synthetic version of the female hormone progesterone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In April of 2012, the<\/strong> Food &amp; Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring new labeling for drugs containing drospirenone warning that they are more likely than other birth control drugs to cause blood clots. Yasmin, approved for sale in the United States in 2001, was the first contraception to include the synthetic hormone. The warning requirement was created after testing and after numerous women complained of blood clots, deep vein thrombosis, myocardial infarction, heart attacks, pulmonary embolism, and stroke. <strong>Some patients taking the drug died as a result of complications linked to the drugs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"rs-content-cta\">Our Yasmin\u00ae and Yaz\u00ae Lawyer Near Me<a href=\"tel:(888) 612-7001\">(888) 612-7001<\/a><\/p><h3>Yaz\u00ae and Yasmin\u00ae Lawsuit in South Carolina<\/h3>\n<p>At George Sink Injury Lawyers, our legal team is willing to review cases involving South Carolina women who experienced any heart-related illness after taking Yaz\u00ae or Yasmin\u00ae birth control. There is ongoing litigation against the manufacturer, Bayer AG, which has already paid out more than $1.5 billion and has not yet closed. Until the FDA announced a required warning in 2012, the manufacturer of Yaz\u00ae and Yasmin\u00ae put <strong>no warning on the birth control<\/strong>. Women had no way of knowing the drug was more likely than other birth controls to cause heart-related health issues.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to serious heart issues, the synthetic hormone drospirenone may have caused other side effects. It has been linked to higher than normal potassium levels, which over time can cause rhythmic irregularities in the heart. The drug has also been known to cause dehydration and other issues resulting in gallbladder disease, kidney stones, renal failure, and even death.<\/p>\n<div class=\"second_cta\"><div class=\"cta-inner\"><p>Our Goal Is To Get You The Most Money \u2013 FAST! <\/p><a href=\"tel:(888) 612-7001\"> (888) 612-7001 <\/a><\/div><\/div><h3>A Dedicated South Carolina Drug Injury Lawyer Can Help You<\/h3>\n<p>If you or a loved one suffered heart-related health issues after using Yasmin\u00ae or Yaz\u00ae, or if you have experienced any of the other side effects and worry about the drug&#8217;s long-term impact on your health, <a href=\"#case-bottom-form\">contact the experienced legal team<\/a> at George Sink Injury Lawyers.
