Making the decision to take birth-control pills such as Yaz is difficult in the best of cases. Before making that choice, you should become aware of the dangerous side effects of the drug. Shannons Solicitors offers defective drug legal advice and representation in lawsuits for women who have experienced serious illness or disease as a direct result of taking Yaz, also known as Yasmin or Ocella.

Many women, particularly those who are smokers over the age of 35, were led to believe through Yaz's advertising that the frequency of side effects and the risks of taking the drug were lower than they actually are. Serious consequences of usage include blood clots, heart attacks, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, strokes and even sudden death - all caused by the imbalance the pill causes in the body.

Personal injury cases handled by Shannons Solicitors have reclaimed compensation for patients affected by drug defects. No one deserves to be made susceptible to serious illness when taking medication by choice, and you should contact your doctor at the slightest sign of a reaction. Through being knowledgeable about the drugs you take and being attentive to any reactions, you can improve your quality of life and be more able to make the decisions that are right for you.
