Popular birth control pills taken by millions of women might be causing serious side effects, that in some cases have led to death. That’s the claim of a growing number of lawsuits.
Yaz and its sister drug Yasmin are big sellers marketed to women under 35. Hormones in all birth control pills can cause blood to thicken, but there are more than 1,000 lawsuits saying Yaz and Yasmin cause more blood clots than others.
