Yaz, generically labeled as drospirenone, is an oral contraceptive that has been connected with causing blood clots, also called a thrombus. A blood clot is caused when blood cells clump together, causing a solid obstruction in the flow of oxygenated blood throughout the body. Some people experience swelling, redness and pain where the clot is located, however between 30 and 50 percent of patients with blood clots have no side effects at all.

Bayer HealthCare manufactures and distributes Yaz. Women who have taken Yaz and developed blood clots should consider filing a claim against the Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, because clots have been associated to life-threatening complications. It's important to know your legal rights and find a defective drug attorney that has experience with Yaz birth control.
