Bayer HeatlhCare Pharmaceuticals Despite, defendant in numerous lawsuits over the drugs Yaz, Yasmine and Ocella, has recently sought and received FDA approval for the oral contraceptive drug Beyaz, according to the Associated Press. The AP reported, "The FDA approved Beyaz to prevent pregnancy and to treat moderate acne in females who are 14 or older and symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder for those who want to use an oral contraceptive."

The attorneys at Jones Ward represent approximately two dozen women who have been harmed by side effects from the drugs Yaz, Yasmine and Ocella, including gallbladder surgery and cardiac events such as arrhythmia and deep vein thrombosis, also know as DVT. The allegations in these cases are that Bayer, the maker of Yaz, Yasmine and Ocella, marketed those drugs as safer than a previous generation of contraceptives.

If you or someone you know has taken Yaz, Yasmine or Ocella and suffered a gallbladder attack, had the gallbladder removed, or had unexplained cardiac events, you may have claims against these drug makers. The attorneys at Jones Ward have filed complaints for more than a dozen women affected by these drugs and will be filing more Complaints on behalf of their clients soon.
