The leading law firm of Alonso Krangle LLP is currently investigating potential Yaz lawsuits on behalf of young women and their families who believe their use of either the Yaz or Yasmin birth control pill caused them to suffer a dangerous blood clot or other serious Yaz side effect.

The Dangers of Yaz Side Effects

Yaz contains a combination of the synthetic progestin, drospirenone, and ethinyl estradiol, an estrogen. Yasmin was approved by the U.S. Food Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001 for the prevention of pregnancy in women who elect to use an oral contraceptive. Yaz, which was cleared by the FDA in 2006, is approved to prevent pregnancy, and treat premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) and certain types of moderate acne in women.

Drospirenone, known as a “fourth-generation” progestin, can elevate the body’s potassium levels, which can lead to a condition called hyperkalemia in certain patients. Hyperkalemia can cause a number of complications, including heart arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Yaz and Yasmin are not considered safe for women with liver problems, kidney issues, or adrenal disease. In order for users of these contraceptives to avoid serious complications, they should have the potassium levels in their blood checked every few months.

Since 2009 a total of five large studies have found evidence that drospirenone birth control pills pose a higher risk of blood clots compared to those containing an older form of progestin. Only two large studies, both funded by the maker of Yaz and Yasmin, have failed to find an increased risk. In May 2011, the FDA announced it had launched a safety review of Yaz, Yasmin and similar pills after two studies published in The British Medical Journal reported a two- to three-fold greater risk of blood clots – including life threatening DVT and PE – among women who took drospirenone pills compared those who took oral contraceptives made levonorgestrel, an older progestin. Because other studies had produced conflicting findings, the FDA decided to conduct a comprehensive review of the drugs’ blood clot dangers.

In an update issued in September 2011, the FDA announced its review of early results of an agency-funded study suggested that women who use Yaz, Yasmin and other oral contraceptives made with drospirenone could face a 1.5-fold increase in the risk of blood clots compared to those who take other pills. In its Drug Safety Communication, the FDA said it “remains concerned, about the potential increased risk of blood clots with the use of drospirenone-containing birth control pills.”

The FDA’s findings prompted it to convene a joint meeting of its Reproductive Health Drugs Advisory Committee and the Drug Safety and Risk Management Advisory Committee to review the evidence linking Yaz and Yasmin to dangerous blood clots and issue recommendations to the agency. On December 8, 2011, the committees voted 21-5 that the current information contained on the drugs’ labels regarding blood clot risks is inadequate and should be updated. In a much closer vote (15 to 11), the FDA advisors recommended that Yaz and Yasmin should remain on the market.

Misleading Yaz and Yasmin Advertising

The manufacturers of Yaz and Yasmin have been in trouble with the FDA on at least two occasions for running TV commercials for the birth control bills that the agency found to be misleading. In 2003, the FDA issued a warning letter to Berlex Laboratories, now a subsidiary of Bayer, after the agency found that a television ad for Yasmin titled “Goodbye Kiss” “misleadingly represents or suggests that Yasmin is safer than has been demonstrated by substantial evidence or substantial clinical experience.” The FDA also noted that women and their healthcare providers must weigh Yasmin’s additional health risks when considering Yasmin over [oral contraceptives] without drospirenone.

In October 2008, the FDA issued Bayer Pharmaceuticals a warning letter for making deceptive claims in two Yaz TV commercials, known as the “We’re Not Gonna Take It” and “Balloon” ads. According to the letter, the advertising overstated the benefits of Yaz and downplayed serious Yaz side effects, including potentially life-threatening blood clots. The questionable ads also prompted 27 state attorneys general to file suit against Bayer, which was forced pull the Yaz ads and run a corrective campaign in February 2009.

Dave Krangle Worked Restlessly On This Case Until We Won
I consider David Krangle as my attorney for many years now. Going back about 13 years ago my father was involved in a hit and run accident. David had gone the extra mile to win our case….. Mr. David Krangle worked restlessly on this case until we won the case. Since then, if anybody asks for a good attorney I recommend David Krangle with confidence. He has helped a number of my friends and relatives and they all appreciated his professionalism, prompt responses to any inquiry during case development, careful study of all details pertaining to their case. He treats his clients as family. Thank you, Mr. Krangle, wishing you a continued success, good health and prosperity.

Absolutely Instrumental in Helping Me Expose Medicare Fraud That My Former Employer Was Engaging In
When you have to fight Goliath you better call David. Dave was absolutely instrumental in helping me expose Medicare fraud that my former employer (one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world) was engaging in. Dave took the time to listen to my concerns and my evidence. He worked tirelessly to bring the best resources to table so that our case would be investigated thoroughly and prosecuted. In the end, the Goliath was defeated thanks to Dave!

We were very fortunate to meet David Krangle
My husband and myself had been involved in a multiple vehicle accident 5 years ago. At that time we were given the name of Mr. David Krangle, attorney. It took close to 5 years of very diligent work for Mr Krangle to complete our case to everyone’s satisfaction. During those years of endless hours and hours of work that he put into our case yet whenever we reached out to Dave (as the years allowed us to call him) he was always available to us. His patience did seem endless. His professionalism in researching everything to make our turnout perfect for us was everything we expected and let us rest knowing things are following the right path. I know we were treated with the utmost respect from various insurance companies and other attorney’s because that was something Mr Krangle made sure of. In difficult times it can be intimidating to work with a professional but we were very fortunate to meet David Krangle who had the ability to share warmth and compassion with us during a trying time. Those are traits that we admired in David Krangle and are delighted to have worked with him.

I was involved in an accident and needed a good Personal Injury Attorney. A friend referred me to David Krangle of Alonso Krangle LLP. After my initial phone conversation with David, I was confident that I found the right Attorney. David was not only extremely thorough, he kept me updated on every stage of my case. Most importantly, he was always available for questions and followed-up promptly. In most cases, the same day. Since there was a 3-hour time zone difference, I was very appreciative from a client stand point.

With his expertise and guidance, I had a successful outcome. I felt very fortunate that David and his wonderful staff represented me.

Strongly Recommend Alonso Krangle As a Highly Experienced And Respected Firm

I consulted a close friend and well respected lawyer in the mid-Atlantic region regarding my hip revision surgery due to a medical device recall. Without hesitation, he strongly recommended contacting Alonso Krangle LLP to discuss my case. In his view, Alonso Krangle possessed extensive knowledge and experience in the type of litigation my case required, as well the respect of those throughout the judicial field for their professionalism. Equally as important, their personal focus on each individual’s case gives the client a feeling they are their only concern. My friend’s assessment could not have been more accurate.

Although in New York, Alonso Krangle could not have been more responsive or accommodating if they were located here in Virginia. I cannot recall a single time when my wife or I called their office and did not speak to either Andres Alonso or David Krangle. They were always completely available and ready to answer any and all of our questions. Their advice and recommendations were always honest, sincere, and accurate enabling us to plan accordingly. Legal proceedings can be a long process, but we never felt left out or forgotten thanks to timely updates initiated by Alonso Krangle. In the end, everything turned out as Alonso Krangle estimated from the beginning. I could not have expected better personal attention or concern from a family member handling my case. As with my friend, I too, would not hesitate to strongly recommend Alonso Krangle as a highly experienced and respected firm that will treat you like family.
