Hurt Due To Yasmin?

Our Columbus Injury Attorneys Are Here To Help

Picture of pill bottles
One of the most common oral contraceptives on the market today is drospirenone, which is the primary agent in the medication Yasmin (as well as Ocella and Yaz).  Yasmin and the other forms of drospirenone have a somewhat spotted history.  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tested these drugs extensively and found numerous potential side effects – some of which are deadly.  However, the drugs’ manufacturers neglected to include the whole story about these side effects on their warning labels.  As a result, many consumers have suffered some sort of injury while taking Yasmin, Yaz, and Ocella.  These injured consumers deserve the ability to seek compensation for their injuries by filing a product liability lawsuit.  The personal injury lawyers at Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co. L.P.A. have decades of experience helping victims of defective drugs, and if you have suffered an adverse reaction to Yasmin, we are here to help you.  If you need help filing a product liability lawsuit or you just have questions about defective drug cases, contact an experienced Columbus injury attorney from our firm today for a free consultation.

Some of Yasmin’s Side Effects

Like Ocella and Yaz, Yasmin has a large number of potential side effects, many of which are absent from warning labels.  Some of these side effects include:

  • Serious allergic reactions, including hives, rashes, trouble breathing, swelling of the mouth or face, or chest tightness
  • Pain in the victim’s leg
  • Confusion and symptoms of depression
  • Coughing blood
  • Migraines
  • Difficulty sleeping
  • Jaundice (indicative of liver problems)
  • General feeling of weakness or lethargy

These are just a few of the many side effects that the FDA has linked to Yasmin.  If you have suffered any adverse reaction to Yasmin, you may be in a strong position to file a product liability lawsuit.  Unlike most personal injury cases, you do not have to prove negligence in a defective drug case.  Due to a concept called strict liability, product manufacturers are responsible for injuries caused by their products, regardless of whether they were negligent in manufacturing or selling the product.

Let Our Product Liability Lawyers Protect Your Rights

Do not assume, however, that strict liability means you do not have a difficult legal battle ahead of you.  Drug companies have developed numerous techniques designed to avoid accepting responsibility for someone’s injuries.  They will work tirelessly to try to prove that your injuries were caused by anything other than their drug – and they have years of experience.  You need an equally experienced group of legal professionals on your team.  The personal injury attorneys at Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co. L.P.A. want to be that team.  We have successfully handled hundreds of defective drug cases, and we know how to stand up to pharmaceutical giants.  Let our lawyers handle this legal battle while you focus on getting better.  We will do everything we can to protect your rights and that you receive the compensation you need to get back on your feet.  If you have suffered an injury due to Yasmin or some other dangerous medication, contact a Columbus injury lawyer from Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co. L.P.A. today.
