Both drugs have been scrutinized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for a variety of issues. Earlier this year the FDA asked Bayer to correct its television marketing campaign which it deemed to be misleading. In September, the FDA issued another warning about quality control issues at a manufacturing plant in Germany.

Consumer Lawsuits

Bayer acknowledges that it has been served with 74 lawsuits brought by women who have taken either Yaz® or Yasmin® and have developed serious health conditions such as blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, and other health conditions. Anyone who has taken Yaz® or Yasmin® and suffered side effects should consult with a physicuan immediately and consider contacting a Yaz lawyer to determine their rights.

The misleading television campaign involved among other issues, Bayer making claims that Yaz® was effective in treating PMS (premenstrual syndrome) for which the drug has not been approved. It has only been approved for contraception, treatment of a less common condition called PMDD (premenstrual dysphoric disorder) and the treatment of acne. The FDA also warned Bayer about overstating the efficacy of these drugs and minimizing side effects and serious risks associated with taking birth control medications.
