Deep Vein Thrombosis Injury (DVT) is a YAZ/Yasmin Side Effect

Deep vein thrombosis, is abbreviated as DVT, and it is the formation of a blood clot in a vein deep in the body. DVT is a possible side effect of YAZ and Yasmin birth control.

Deep vein thrombosis occurs most commonly in leg veins, but also can occur in other parts of the body. Although it can occur without symptoms, in many cases of DVT the affected extremity will be painful, swollen, red and warm to the touch. A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a serious complication of a DVT, this may occur when the blood clot breaks lose and travels to the lungs, causing a blockage and in some cases sudden death.

Pulmonary Embolism Injury (PE) is a YAZ/Yasmin Side Effect

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a possible side effect of YAZ and Yasmin birth control pills.  A PE occurs when a main artery of the lung or one of its branches becomes blocked, thereby preventing blood from traveling through the lungs.  The most common cause of PE is deep vein thrombosis (DVT).  See above.

YAZ, Yasmin, Beyaz, and Safyral are manufactured by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Yasmin was originally made by Berlex Laboratories, which was acquired by Bayer in 2006.

Ocella is a generic version of Yasmin. Gianvi is a generic version of YAZ. Ocella and Gianvi birth control pills are from Teva Pharmaceuticals and Barr Laboratories.

Zarah is a generic version of Yasmin. Vestura is a generic version of YAZ. Zarah and Vestura oral contraceptives are made by Watson Pharmaceuticals.

•     Stroke
•     Gallbladder Inflammation (cholecystitis)

Actos Bladder Cancer

Actos (pioglitazone) is an oral diabetes drug that was granted FDA approval in 1999 as a treatment for Type 2 diabetes to help reduce insulin resistance. While Actos is in the same class of drugs as Avandia, they are not the same and as medical studies revealed that Avandia use is responsible for heart disease, strokes and other serious complications, use of Actos went up. Recent medical research, has demonstrated that Actos causes an increased risk of bladder cancer in users, and that this risk increases the longer the medication is taken.

Throughout the United States, a number of patients who took Actos, and now diagnosed with bladder cancer are considering filing potential lawsuits against Takeda Pharmaceuticals for failing to fully research the side effects of the medication or adequately warn about the risk of bladder cancer. The Dr Shezad Malik Law Firm is currently evaluating and accepting Actos bladder cancer cases.
