About NuvaRing
NuvaRing® is marketed towards young women as an easy and safe alternative to oral contraceptives. Unlike contraceptives such as the pill that must be taken daily, the NuvaRing® is marketed as requiring minimal upkeep because it is replaced monthly. While these benefits are prominently featured on the NuvaRing® website, consumers need to be aware of the complications that can arise while taking this drug.
If you have used the Nuvaring® contraceptive and experienced adverse reactions you may be entitled to a cash settlement. Please complete the form and one of our attorneys will contact you, or call 1-800-LAW-FIRM now.
One of the active hormones in NuvaRing® is desogestrel, which studies have shown doubles the incidence of blod cots in women. The consumer advocacy group Public Citizen first brought the dangers of this drug to the attention of the FDA in 2007 calling for the removal of many oral contraceptives including NuvaRing from the market. This call for action was backed up with information from studies that dated as far back as 1995. Since then NuvaRing has been linked to other serious and life threatening medical conditions.
