NuvaRing Information

What is NuvaRing?

NuvaRing, manufactured by Organon, is the trade name for a combined hormonal contraceptive vaginal ring used for birth control. It contains ethinyl estradiol and a relatively high dose of etonogestrel, a metabolite of desogestrel, which has been recognized as a dangerous progestin. NuvaRing has been associated with adverse side effects such as:

  • Blood Clots
  • Stroke
  • Heart Attack
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis
  • Myocardial Infarction
  • Cerebrovascular Accidents
  • Pulmonary Embolism
  • Death
What Is The Safety Problem With NuvaRing And Why Are Lawsuits Being Filed
As a result of case reports made by women and their doctors, NuvaRing use is associated with serious side effects resulting from blood clots, such pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as well as strokes and heart attacks, with some events resulting in death.


NuvaRing Birth Control Device Use Can Cause Blood Clots and Related Serious Side Effects
NuvaRing has a relatively high dose of etonogestrel, a metabolite of desogestrel, which has been recognized as a dangerous progestin. An article published in the October 9, 2003 edition of The New England Journal of Medicine, “Combination Estrogen–Progestin Oral Contraceptives”, discusses how desogestrel is harmful.


NuvaRing Class Actions
We believe that people who suffered a serious injury or death due to the NuvaRing contracptive are better served when an individual lawsuit is filed on their behalf. A serious injury or death case should not be filed as part of any NuvaRing class action together with the claims of many other people who may have had different injuries caused by NuvaRing.


Legal Compensation for NuvaRing Injuries
If you experienced serious side effects from the use of NuvaRing, or a person died due to an adverse reaction while using NuvaRing birth control, you may have a claim for legal compensation. Legal compensation claims involving injuries or death caused by the use of NuvaRing are made by filing a lawsuit in court. All states have statutes of limitations that determine the time period allowed to file a NuvaRing lawsuit.
