They were able to corner a large share of the market in large part due to a successful ad campaign marketed towards women under 35 and promises to decrease acne and premenstrual depression.

Supposedly, this new combination would lower the risk of blood clots typically caused by high levels of estrogen in birth control pills.<\/p>\n<p>However, recent studies have shown that in fact Yaz and Yasmin users actually have a greater risk of developing blood clots than women using older forms of birth control. In addition, new information has suggested that Yaz and Yasmin also can cause heart failure, strokes, and other organ failures. As a result, over 11,300 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/lawyer-attorney-1337433.html\">product liability lawsuits<\/a> were filed against Bayer.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robertkreisman.com\/medical-malpractice-lawyer\/70_yaz_and_yasmin_cases_settled\/#more-467\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was not long ago that Yaz and Yasmin ranked as one of the leading birth control pills on the market.
