On December 6th, The Hamilton Spectator published “Birth Control Pills Linked to Blood Clot Risk.” That article states that Health Canada (the government agency in charge of Canadian healthcare” found that “the risk of blood clots in women taking Yasmin and Yaz is between 1.5 and three times higher than other birth control pills.”
The labels for Yaz and Yasmin in Canada have been updated to reflect the increased risk. Health Canada investigated the review after new studies showed an association between Yaz and Yasmin usage and injuries such as DVT’s and pulmonary embolism.
I had one Canadian Yaz user contact me recently to ask if I could help handle her Yaz lawsuit. Unfortunately, my firm can only help individuals who are U.S. citizens or who were injured by a prescription of Yaz obtained in the U.S.
