Liver Disease

Antelope Valley YAZ Injury Lawyers Serving Palmdale and Lancaster

In some cases, the popular birth control pill YAZ (generic brand name Ocella) may be linked to liver disease, liver tumors, and a number of other serious medical conditions. Although this may vary on a case by case basis, it is a good idea to talk to an attorney if you or a loved one has been taking YAZ and was diagnosed with liver disease. If this is the case, you may have grounds for a civil lawsuit against the manufacturer or possibly your doctor.

YAZ and Liver Disease

Women who are considering taking YAZ to prevent pregnancy should always consult their doctor. A personal or family history of liver disease may put a woman at increased risk of experiencing side effects from using YAZ or any oral contraceptive. YAZ in particular contains drospirenone, which may raise potassium levels in your blood. Because liver disease may affect potassium levels as well, this is another reason to be careful of taking YAZ if you have a history of this condition.

The FDA-required warnings about YAZ, Yasmin and Ocella alone should be enough to indicate that there is a possibility that liver disease may be linked to taking these oral contraceptives, and as such it is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a liver condition and has been taking YAZ.
