Yasmin, Yaz, Ocella and Gianvi are birth control pills that are prescribed to be taken on a daily basis. According the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), these two oral contraceptives have a higher risk of severe side effects than other birth control options. Gianvi and Ocella are the generic forms of Yaz and Yasmin.

At the law firm of Skikos, Crawford, Skikos & Joseph , we are dedicated to protecting your interests against large pharmaceutical companies such as Bayer. Our experienced mass tort litigation attorneys have years of experience seeking the defective drug injury compensation you deserve.

Yasmin, Yaz, Ocella and Gianvi Require Boxed Warnings for Their Life Threatening Effects

The FDA has repeatedly admonished Bayer for its inappropriate advertising and poor conditions at its manufacturing plant. The FDA has also recognized that Yasmin, Yaz, Ocella and Gianvi lead to severe and life-threatening side effects, including:

  • Strokes
  • Heart attacks
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Pulmonary embolisms
  • Gallbladder disease (leading to gallbladder removal)

These side effects have also led to the death of several individuals. The FDA now requires Bayer to include boxed labeling on all Yasmin, Yaz, Ocella and Gianvi packaging.
