Following an initial wave of lawsuits filed on behalf of NuvaRing injury victims, additional claims for compensation are being filed each week.  Unlike other oral contraceptives designed to halt ovulation, NuvaRing delivers a dosage of hormones directly to the blood stream.  NuvaRing lawyers are now claiming that the manufacturer had inadequate warnings on its packaging.  In early 2008, NuvaRing did makes changes to the way it marketed its product and labeled its packaging.  Claims that NuvaRing causes serious blood clots, stroke, and heart attack began to surface, especially in women over the age of 35 that were using this vaginal contraceptive. 

If you are experiencing any of the side effects associated with NuvaRing, it may become critical to seek medical treatment immediately to rule out any serious health problems.  Those side effects can include: chest pain, calf or lower leg pain, splitting headache, or dizziness.  Blood clotting in the eye, lung, or leg can lead to serious injury or death.  NuvaRing's two active hormones, estrogen and progestin, are lower levels than traditional oral contraceptives, but since NuvaRing delivers its hormones directly into the blood, users may be at an increased risk of blood clotting.  NuvaRing blood clotting can result in stroke, heart attack, and death. 

A NuvaRing lawsuit can be filed by a NuvaRing injury lawyer as long as the claim has not blown the applicable statute of limitations.  A nationwide drug defect lawyer will request medical records to verify NuvaRing usage and prognosis.  Once verified, you may be entitled to compensation for your NuvaRing injury claim.
