Prescribed Birth Control Drug Yaz To Treat Skin Condition, Nurse Developed Life-Threatening Blood Clots

October 21, 2009

Candice Atkinson today filed a personal injury lawsuit against Bayer Corporation for severe side effects from the prescription birth control drug Yaz, manufactured and marketed by Bayer. Atkinson, a registered nurse, charges that Yaz is a dangerous prescription drug sold without adequate warnings about the risk of serious injuries.

"The FDA's adverse event database for Yaz and Yasmin reveal a very high number of serious adverse events associated with these drugs, including strokes, heart attacks, blood clot formation, gallbladder and kidney disease, and sometimes death," commented Kent L. Klaudt of Lieff Cabraser.
