If you were a woman who had a history of blood clots, heart conditions, or breast cancer, you probably shouldn’t have been taking NuvaRing. Likewise, if you smoked cigarettes, NuvaRing might have been the wrong birth control method, particularly if you were over the age of 35. Surprised by these statements? The reason you might be is as simple as it is tragic.
According to a number of health care observers and injured patients, for years the maker of NuvaRing failed to appropriately warn consumers about the potential for harm, particularly the risk of blood clots and similar cardiac conditions. In an attempt to sell NuvaRing as an alternative to birth control pills, NuvaRing’s manufacturer may have led you to believe that they were roughly equivalent risks when, in fact, they weren’t.
Have you or a loved one suffered emotionally, financially, or medically as a result of a NuvaRing prescription? Do you feel surprised and improperly warned about the real risks of this birth control device?
