Have You or a Loved One Suffered from a Stroke or Heart Attack While on Birth Control? You Need an Experienced Defective Drug Lawyer!

    NEW YORK, NY, February 03, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Sybil Shainwald, the founder of the Law Offices of Sybil Shainwald, pioneered DES legislation and has been given numerous awards for this exceptional work. Ms. Shainwald has litigated mass tort cases involving drugs that have inflicted harm on women or their children and their loved ones. DES is a synthetic hormone that was manufactured between 1947 and 1971 to help avoid miscarriage. Doctors reported a link between mothers who took DES and rare clear-celled cervical and vaginal cancers and their daughters as well as infertility and possible testicular cancers in their sons. DES was also linked to breast cancer in the mothers.

Today, certain contraceptives are under the microscope for their harmful side effects and have been known to cause life-threatening injuries including blood clots, strokes and heart attacks. Many of the victims are in their 20's and 30's and in a very low risk group on their own. A synthetic drug called Drospirenone is being used in some new contraceptives. There is growing evidence that it can lead to hyperkalemia, a condition caused by excessive potassium in the blood and can result in serious heart and health problems.
