Yaz Side Effects Site is a free resource available to anyone who is, or know someone who is, experiencing side effects and health problems caused by the birth control pill Yasmin, more commonly know as Yaz. Any woman that has taken birth control knows that they can cause nausea, mood swings, breast enlargement, abdominal cramps, headaches and spotting between periods. More severe and rare side effects can include thrombosis, stroke and/or heart attack. The rare side effects are more common in women that smoke and/or are 35 and over. These side effects have been well known for several years and women have to make the decision about whether or not to take oral contraceptives.

The oral contraceptive, Yaz was introduced only a few years ago and women really got on the band wagon with this one because the makers claimed, via advertising, that Yaz/Yasmin was approved by the FDA for the treatment of PMS and all kinds of acne. The actuality is that Yaz (Yasmin, Yasmine, Yas or Ocella) was approved for the treatment of PMDD and moderate to severe acne by the FDA. Due to the false advertising, women taking Yaz started experiencing serious Yaz side effects like organ failure, kidney problems, stroke, death, seizures, DVT. PE, blood clots, heart attacks and other heart related problems.

Since this advertising came out over a year ago and women were experiencing the most severe side effects more often with Yaz than with other birth control, lawsuits have been brought and are currently still being settled. Since PMS and PMDD are not the same thing, the information in the advertising for Yaz was misleading. This misinformation caused women with acne problems and PMS to beg their doctors to try it. PMS is less severe whereas PMDD is much more severe. Taking Yaz for conditions outside of PMDD and moderate to severe acne caused women to have the more serious Yaz side effects with some leading to death.

Now that this information is clearer to the public, there are solutions for those women who have taken Ocella or the generics of Ocella which include Yaz, Yas, Yasmin, and Yasmin and have experienced any of the said Yaz side effects. If you are one of these women, or you know anyone that has had these side effects from taking the Ocella/Yaz birth control, you need to find out if you are entitled to a monetary award for your health troubles.
