Reports of Yaz side effects continue to develop as the manufacturers of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella prepare themselves for further judicial proceedings and more potential lawsuits. Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, makers of Yasmin and Yaz, and Barr Pharmaceuticals, makers of the generic version Ocella have been barraged with allegations leading from downplaying the severity of side effects in their adverts to knowingly letting loose a dangerous and potentially deadly product on American women.

Suspicions were aroused when women in their 20s and 30s were suddenly falling victim to ischemic stroke and heart attack after being put on Yasmin. Young, healthy women who were on this brand of contraceptive method for as little as a few months were exhibiting symptoms of major side effects and serious health risks. Ischemic stroke, heart arrhythmia, and pulmonary embolism are just some of the serious Yasmin side effects allegedly experienced by patients put on this birth control pill.

Adult Females taking Yasmin, Yaz or Ocella to avoid becoming pregnant or to treat PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) or severe acne have reportedly suffered serious injury to their health and wellbeing. Although most pharmaceuticals present some form of side effects, the main issue surrounding Yaz seems to be that the original commercials downplayed the health risks and side effects. This attracted users to the product that may not have taken it otherwise had they been properly informed about the risks posed by Ocella, Yasmin and Yaz.
