Nuvaring Birth Control
Serious Nuvaring birth control side effects have been reported in women throughout the country. Women have 
suffered life-threatening problems involving blood clots and strokes sometimes after using the birth control ring for only a short period of time and with no other risk factors for developing a blood clot. There are currently no collected Nuvaring blood clot statistics to know how often a clot has occurred or how many women have been affected by more serious side effects.
Nuvaring birth control is a third generation contraceptive manufactured by Organon which is part of the Schering-Plough Corporation. Prior to 2007, Organon was owned by Akzo Nobel, a multinational company based out of the Netherlands. It is a flexible polyethylene ring that contains estrogen and a form of the progestin desogestrel. Nuvaring is considered a combination hormonal contraceptive.
The Food and Drug Administration approved this birth control ring in October 2001. It was first marketed in the United States in July 2002. It is estimated that the birth control ring is used by over 1.5 million women around the world. Third generation contraceptives such as Nuvaring were initially developed in the 1980’s to have fewer adverse effects such as weight gain, hirsutism, and acne.
How Does NuvaRing Work?
Nuvaring is a combinational hormone contraceptive containing estrogen and progestin hormones. The hormones are released in a low steady dose directly into the bloodstream by being absorbed through the vaginal wall. Nuvaring birth control is used for three weeks and then removed for one week. It prevents the ovaries from producing an egg. The lining of the uterus also becomes thinner inhibiting a fertilized egg from being implanted. In addition, the cervical mucus becomes thicker which helps prevent sperm from entering the uterus.

Requesting a free legal consultation does not create an attorney-client relationship and you are not considered a client until a representation agreement has been signed and your case has been accepted.
Nuvaring Blood Clot Risk
Birth control ring side effects have been increasingly reported the last few years by women using the contraceptive NuvaRing. Pulmonary embolism and stroke side effects have also been associated with the use of this relatively new birth control ring. Women who have been affected are coming forward and looking at their legal options including filing a Nuvaring lawsuit. Many women are left with unpaid medical bills, lost wages and are now more susceptible to developing another blood clot in the future. find out more
