Yaz/Yasmin — Blood Clots: Have Your Story Heard
If you have a story about how the progestins Yaz and Yasmin have caused you injuries such as a blood clot or stroke, the time has come to share it. One of the best defenses patients have in the case of injuries caused by prescription drugs such as Yaz and Yasmin is the consumer protection group. This concept exists as a fairly recent phenomenon from the last 100 years. Such groups monitor various elements that may affect consumer health, seeking to protect people from the harm that can be caused by a lack of information.
One such group, the U.S. Drug Watchdog, is asking women who have experienced negative health consequences from taking Yaz or Yasmin to share their stories.
"We are talking about blood clots, heart attacks, strokes and other potentially extremely serious medical side effects from the use of these drugs," officials from U.S. Drug Watchdog say.
The invitation calls for women with the aforementioned experiences to contact the Watchdog directly or to pass along the chance to speak out to other women who may have experienced these health consequences in whatever way they feel inclined.
Such measures as this are laudable, and they don't exist simply to help big class action suits. If you have a more private claim against the makers of these medicines, your story can help both you and others. By sharing it with as many people as you can, you expand the knowledge base about these medicines and improve the accuracy of the statistics involved. When there are many stories and testimonies available, the picture becomes much harder to ignore, and this can affect both the big sweeping cases and more personal, smaller efforts to gain recompense. Your story is never too small, and it should be shared if you feel you can share it.
Yaz and Yasmin have been linked to very serious complications. This is not something that can be ignored, but rather should be discussed openly, before other potentially dangerous effects occur.
