Yasmin, which was originally approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May of 2001, is manufactured by Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals. Yasmin® is a popular, widely used, and easy to manage form of contraception used to prevent pregnancy and treat the symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD).

Recently Yasmin has been in the news due to the link between its users and serious side effects, which include deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack, and death.

Overview of Yasmin related side effects:

Deep vein thrombosis – Also known as DVT, this is a blood clot within a deep vein, usually in the legs, pelvis, or arms. This painful condition can lead to a pulmonary embolism (PE) and even death.

Pulmonary embolism – Usually a result of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), this is a blockage of the pulmonary artery. Some symptoms of PE include breathing complications, heart palpitations, and chest pain.

Stroke – When blood clots form, they can disrupt blood flow to the brain and cause a significant loss in brain function. In some cases, a stroke may occur due to deep vein thrombosis.

Heart attack – Medication side effects, such as a blood clot blocking the flow of blood through a coronary artery, can be a cause of a heart attack. A heart attack may damage or destroy part of the heart muscle.

These serious side effects have occurred more so in women with a history of certain medical conditions, making the medication particularly dangerous to women with the following:

  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Heart disease
  • Gallbladder problems
  • Diabetes
  • Adrenal gland disorder
  • Liver cancer

In cases in which drug manufacturers create dangerous medications that cause users to suffer serious side effects, they should be held accountable for any harm their product has caused. If your side effects were the result of Yasmin, you have the right to hold the manufacturer legally responsible for your injuries, and should be fairly compensated.
