In October 2006, approval was prolonged to include treatment of the emotional and physical effects of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), which is a more serious version of PMS that interferes with every day tasks. In January 2007, it was also approved to treat mild acne in patients who already wanted to prevent pregnancy. Have you lost a loved one due to complications caused by Yaz the birth control, such as a pulmonary embolism? A Yaz attorney can help during this difficult time and you may be able to recover compensation in a product liability case. Contact a Yaz class action lawyer today to learn more.
Referred to as a combined oral contraceptive, Yaz contains chemicals such as ethinyl estradiol (estrogen that influences the release of eggs) and drospirenone (progestin that influences the lining of the uterus). Drospirenone is unique to Yasmin, Yax and generic Ocella, making these recent birth control medications possibly more severe than other birth control medications.
