Yaz Lawsuits and Yasmin Lawsuits Update

Attorney Andres Alonso of Alonso Krangle LLP is presently serving as a member of the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee in regards to the present litigation of more than 10,000 personal injury Yaz lawsuits and Yasmin lawsuits allege that Yaz, Yasmin and other drospirenone-containing birth control pills are currently pending in the Yasmin and Yaz (Drospirenone) Marketing, Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation (MDL No. 2100) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois before the Honorable Judge David Herndon.

Yaz Side Effects and Yasmin Side Effects Injuries

Yasmin was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001 for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use an oral contraceptive. Yaz, which was cleared by the FDA in 2006, is approved to prevent pregnancy, and treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and certain types of moderate acne in women. Both oral contraceptives are made with a fourth-generation synthetic progestin called drospirenone, which can elevate the body’s potassium levels and lead to a condition called hyperkalemia in certain patients. Hyperkalemia can cause a number of complications, including heart arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18929734]

In December 2011, a panel of FDA advisors voted 21-5 to recommend that labels for Yaz, Yasmin and similar pills be updated with stronger warnings about their possible potential to cause serious, life threatening blood clots. In a much closer vote (15 to 11), the advisors recommended that Yaz and Yasmin should remain on the market.

The votes followed the release of a large, FDA-funded study in October that found drospirenone-containing oral contraceptives increased the risk of blood clots by almost 74%, compared to other oral contraceptives that are made with an older form of progestin.
