Ohio NuvaRing Side Effects Lawyers

If you or a loved one has used the NuvaRing contraceptive ring and now suffer from cardiovascular problems caused by blood clots, stroke, pulmonary embolism or any other side effects, the experienced attorneys at Dyer, Garofalo, Mann, & Schultz are here to help.

What is NuvaRing?

The NuvaRing is a plastic vaginal contraceptive ring. It is marketed as an easy-to-use birth control alternative which delivers a lower estrogen level than birth control pills or the patch. The NuvaRing is inserted directly into the vagina once a month, where it delivers a dose of Progestin and estrogen over the course of 3 weeks before it is removed and the user is instructed to take one week off; this cycle, 3 weeks on and 1 week off, is continued.

Side Effects of NuvaRing

However, new problems of great detriment have arisen. The NuvaRing may be linked to an increased risk of blood clots and serious cardiovascular problems in users. These side effects are known to be fatal in severe cases. NuvaRing lawsuits have already been filed. Many of these lawsuits are claiming that the manufacturer hid the risks of the product from unassuming consumers.

The NuvaRing has been available in the United States since late 2001. Its label warns that, "The hormones in NuvaRing may cause changes in your blood clotting system which may allow your blood to clot more easily. If blood clots form in your legs, they can travel to the lungs and cause a sudden blockage of a vessel carrying blood to the lungs. The risk of getting blood clots may be greater with the type of Progestin in NuvaRing than with some other Progestins in certain low-dose birth control pills," however, many feel that the company is not forthright in providing information about what can happen to women who experience these complications.
