The Tax Cheapo

Research executed on healthy, premenopausal women in the Netherlands observed that Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella (generic Yaz) suffered an elevated risk of venous thrombosis as compared to non-users. The risks were increased as high as five times with contraceptive pills. These studies were published in August 2009. This was merely the beginning of the contention surrounding Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella and the consequent lawsuits to come regarding Yaz side effects.

Bells and whistles went off when women in their 20s and 30s were suddenly falling victim to stroke and blood clots after being put on Ocella. Healthy women who were on this brand of contraceptive method for as little as a few months were exhibiting symptoms of major side effects and serious health risks. Cardiovascular injury, organ failure, and blood clots are just some of the serious birth control side effects allegedly experienced by women put on this birth control pill.

It is crucial that women became their own advocates and take charge of the decisions being made about their health and their bodies. As a whole, the American public relies too heavily on doctors and medications to give them answers in a bottle. In the internet age, it is up to you to do your own research and remain informed. Drug recalls and corporate lawsuits have become all too commonplace in the United States. At some point, people have to stop expecting the government and big business to have their welfare in mind. It is time for the public to eventually take the first step and not be so quick to accept anything handed to them in pill form.
