Many of our clients have suffered blood clot injuries after taking Yaz, Yasmin or Ocella. One of the most serious blood clot injuries is “deep vein thrombosis” – also known as “DVT” – which is when a blood clot forms in the veins, usually the legs. If not treated in time, a DVT can lead to other serious health problems such as a pulmonary embolism or a stroke. Part of the controversy surrounding Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella is that recent medical studies have found that the synthetic hormone contained in these birth control pills known as drospirenone is associated with a significantly higher risk of patients developing DVT and other related health problems.
Recently Baltimore’s local NBC news station ran a story about how hospitals and doctors are treating people who have been diagnosed with a DVT or related injuries:
