Serious NuvaRing Side Effects
Although all hormonal contraceptives carry some risk of side effects, one of the arguments in NuvaRing cases is that NuvaRing users have more serious side effects than women who use other birth control methods. These serious side effects may include, but are not limited to:
- blood clots
- strokes
- heart attack
- myocardial infarction
- pulmonary embolism
- death
Unfortunately, NuvaRing side effects cannot be anticipated. NuvaRing patients should inform a doctor immediately if any side effects develop or change in intensity, as only a doctor can determine if it is safe to continue using NuvaRing.
Organon’s Misleading NuvaRing Side Effect Labeling
While the NuvaRing label includes some warnings regarding NuvaRing’s dangerous side effects, none of these warnings are emphasized, which could lead many NuvaRing users to believe that NuvaRing and oral contraceptives carry similar side effects risks. Additionally, Organon's promotional literature for NuvaRing states that NuvaRing releases a "low" dose of hormones, and that NuvaRing has a "low incidence of side effects, such as headaches, nausea, and breast tenderness" that is similar to birth control pills. We believe that these promotional claims are misleading, as the hormone formulation used in NuvaRing allegedly exposes users to an unnecessarily high risk of strokes, blood clots and other cardiovascular problems.
