Nuva Ring Side Effects Lawsuit
In March 2008, a nuvaring side effects lawsuit was filed against the manufacturers, distributors,
and marketers of NuvaRing. The plaintiff alleges that these companies concealed
the health risks associated with using the device, which is claimed to have
cause the death of the plaintiff's wife.
The lawsuit, filed at the Superior Court of New Jersey, claims the makers,
distributors and marketers concealed the dangers and health risks of using the
device.
Since being approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in 2001,
NuvaRing has been associated with a number of serious side effects, including
blood clots, strokes and pulmonary embolism.
It releases the hormones estrogen and progesterone into the bloodstream. The nuvaring side effects problem is that these high levels of hormones can cause blood clotting issues, such as the formation of an embolus (a blood clot) and this could cause severe
health consequences. These types of health risk were known and documented for
several years,
In 2003 the New England Journal of Medicine published two studies that
concluded that the use of low-estrogen oral contraceptives
containing the progestin desogestrel significantly increases the
risk of venous thromboembolism, a potentially fatal type of blood
clot, more than low-estrogen birth control pills containing levonorgestrel.
Background
Nuva Ring is the trade name for a combined hormonal contraceptive vaginal ring manufactured by Organon that is available by prescription. It is a flexible plastic (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) ring that releases a low dose of a progestin and an estrogen over 3 weeks.
