Lawsuits Over Side Effects of NuvaRing Birth Control
NuvaRing is an insertable birth control device that releases hormones directly into the vagina over the course of a month to prevent pregnancy.
Studies have suggested that side effects of NuvaRing may cause women to face an increased risk serious blood clots, which could leave women with a devastating injury as result of a:
- Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
- Stroke
- Heart Attack
As a result of the drug maker’s failure to adequately warn about these NuvaRing health risks, users who suffered an injury may be entitled to financial compensation through a NuvaRing side effect lawsuit. The lawyers at Saiontz & Kirk, P.A. are reviewing potential claims for individuals nationwide. Request a free consultation and claim evaluation.
NUVARING BLOOD CLOT RISK
NuvaRing Attorneys
Potential cases are being reviewed for women throughout the United States who suffered a blood clot injury that may have been caused by NuvaRing side effects. All cases are handled under a contingency fee agreement.
Nuva Ring birth control releases a combination of ethinyl estradiol and etonogestrel, which is known as a “third generation” progestin.
While nearly all forms of hormone-based birth control carry a blood clot risk, research suggests that side effects of NuvaRing may cause women to face a 56% greater risk when compared to some older birth control pills. This may be the result of exposure to high levels of estrogen.
Blood clot, as known as thrombosis, occur when blood cells clump together in the vein, restricting the flow of blood through that particular vein.
If the clot develops in the deep veins of the legs, pelvis or arms, it may result in a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) from NuvaRing, which poses a serious danger since the blockage of vital arteries may restrict blood flow to the heart, lungs or brain. As a result, an individual could suffer sudden death, a heart attack, stroke or pulmonary embolism from NuvaRing.
Despite the risk of NuvaRing blood clots, Organon Pharmaceuticals, Schering-Plough and Merck, the drug’s manufacturers, have aggressively marketed the birth control ring as an alternative to birth control pills without adequately warning consumers or the medical community. As a result, women who have suffered a serious NuvaRing blood clot injury may be entitled to financial compensation.
