Adverse Effect Of Nuva Ring

The Serious Side Effects Of NuvaRing
NuvaRing birth control that is used increasingly by women around the world has come to the limelight recently due to an increase in the report of life threatening side effects. Among the serious side effects noted include blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. The different consumer groups along with medical community fraternity members have started questioning about the side effects of NuvaRing, mainly about the increased incidence of blood clots.

NuvaRing, brought out by Organon USA is a combination of two hormones, the estrogen and the etonogestrel, another type of the hormone progestin desogestrel. This contraceptive drug is reported to be in use by around 1.5 million women around the world.

NuvaRing is among the third generation contraceptive having the synthetic hormone desogestrel, which is reported to cause blood clots in women. Women who have used the drug have reported to suffer from stroke and blood clots which are considered to be linked with third generation contraceptives. This has raised the question about whether women were warned enough about the risks and complications involved for the thrombo-embolotic side effects.

Women who have been using NuvaRing pills have reported to be suffering from pulmonary embolism. It is seen that women have venous thrombosis events while using NuvaRing. There are reports of pulmonary embolism (PE), ischemic strokes and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as possible side effects to a woman under NuvaRing dosage.

If any woman who has suffered from the above side effects on using NuvaRing can take the help of the law to file lawsuit against Organon, the manufacturer of the pill. The lawyer evaluates the different claims made and takes proper action. It is unfortunate that in spite of suffering serious side effects, many women are ignorant about the presence of legal rights for their benefits.

This kind of defective drugs making their way in the market place is due to these companies putting more importance to profits than to the safety of the patients. In many cases of these drug side-effects, lawsuits have been brought out by the erring company. These have led to many of these products being recalled back by the FDA. Many of the other drugs were asked to post more stringent warnings.

One of the firm that is involved in providing justice to women having NuvaRing is the the Fields Law Firm, whose lawyers pleads lawsuits for Nuva ring across the country.

It is advisable for the people to have a deeper understanding about deep venous thrombosis, in which blood clots are formed in a vein in the lower leg as well as thigh. The clot also called a thrombus is formed in larger veins. As the blood flows, the clot of blood may break off and pass through the blood stream. If the clot gets stuck in the brain, heart, lungs or in some other parts of the body, it could results in severe damage to the organ.

People whose work entails long hour of sitting or is at bed rest could suffer from deep venous thrombosis. Some other reasons are recent surgery, fractures, childbirth, and use of estrogen and third generation contraceptive pills.
