Miskin Law proceeding across Canada with Yaz/Yasmin claims

The Bayer birth control pills Yaz or Yasmin can cause dehydration which causes an increase in the
potassium levels (hyperkalemia) and a decrease in the sodium levels (hyponatremia) in the body.
As potassium acts as a key control in cardiac rhythm, this imbalance can cause hyperkalemia
arrhythmias, which, in turn can cause blood clots and thrombotic events such as stroke or deep
vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or heart attack. Dehydration is also a risk factor for
kidney stones and gallbladder disease. While other birth control pills can also cause thrombotic events, the cause of those effects are from the estrogen side of the equation. The thrombotic effects of Yaz and Yasmin are from the progesterin side. While it has long been accepted that high estrogen levels can cause these
adverse events, Yaz/Yasmin/Ocella have been marketed as having low estrogen levels, thereby
having a lower risk for thrombotic events. There have been several studies that have
called this into question.
The Miskin Law firm is making claims related to these drugs and class action court actions have been started in Ontario, British Columbia, and Saskatchewan. The class action proceedings take a long time to advance and they stop individual law suits from proceeding for now. We represent people to get them compensation both individually and through the class action process. Once there is certification by the court of the class action people will have a choice of claiming through it or trying to get more with special circumstances in an individual claim.
