Yaz Side Effects
If you are among the growing number of young women that look to Yaz as their contraceptive of choice, then you should make a point of learning the Yaz side effects. You should also become familiar with a few specifics about clinical trials. During the clinical trial for most drugs or medical devices, one group of subjects is treated with the test drug/device, and a second group gets a placebo (a sugar pill or a fake device).
However, whenever a pharmaceutical or medical equipment company needs to conduct a clinical trial on some sort of contraceptive, it can not use any sort of placebo. If it followed that route, then large numbers of women would be impregnated during the course of one clinical trial. Therefore, all information about the side effects associated with any one contraceptive must be learned through trial and error, i.e. through watching for possible side effects as various women try the newly introduced contraceptive.
In other words, once you have purchased and used Yaz you have allowed yourself to serve as a “guinea pig.” You could have to deal with minor side effects such as headaches, diminished sex drive, weight gain, increased appetite, bleeding between periods or nausea and vomiting. More alarming however, are the serious side effects that you could suffer.
If you note swelling of the legs, chest pain, vision changes or severe migraines, you must pay heed. Those could be signs of a blood clot. You should contact us to help determine if you have a valid claim against the manufacturer.
