The fact is that the company manufacturing Nuvaring contraceptive knows that the third generation contraceptive, which contains a synthetic hormone called desogestrel, is not safe and does have side effects. All third-generation contraceptives and birth control products such as Nuvaring contain a warning label regarding the risk of blood clots and other side effects. The multinational manufacturing Nuva ring is well aware of the dangerous Nuvaring birth control side effects and has displayed this Nuva ring information on its packaging.

The very serious Nuvaring birth control side effects are becoming more public and as many women suffering from clots, ischemic strokes and PE, while using Nuvaring birth control, have come forward to complain and file lawsuits. Nuvaring birth control side effects such as blood clots and other the other life threatening side effects are forcing women to rethink and review their birth control options. Nuvaring contraceptive changes the hormone levels of women who use it for birth control. Many women who were unaware of this Nuva ring information, and had used Nuvaring and suffered Nuvaring side effects have switched to an IUD, which does not change the hormone levels. The reason many women are considering using an IUD is due of the risks involved with using third generation contraceptives that contain the hormone desogestrel. Many studies and research have shown that the risk of suffering a blood clot is 100% when using a third generation contraceptive compared to using a second generation contraceptive that contains hormones like norgestrel, levonorgestrel, norgestimate or norethindrone.

Blood clots and resulting blood vessel blockage is one of the many serious Nuvaring birth control side effects and the other third generation contraceptives, and could cause serious disability and/or death. A blood clot in the legs could cause thrombophlebitis and a blood clot traveling to the lungs could cause serious damage with a sudden blockage of the vessels, which carry blood to the lungs. In some cases, blood clots could occur in the blood vessels of eyes resulting in double vision or impaired vision, and even blindness.

Another, more dangerous Nuvaring birth control side effect is pulmonary embolism, also known as Nuvaring PE. Many women using Nuvaring contraceptive have reported this serious and dangerous side effect. A PE is a blockage of an artery in the lungs. Blockage is usually caused by a blood clot in the leg that breaks loose and travels through the bloodstream and to the lungs. Pulmonary embolism is a very serious and could cause permanent damage to the affected lung resulting in low oxygen levels in the blood, and damage to organs in the body from insufficient oxygen. If the blood clot is large, or if there are multiple blood clots, pulmonary embolism could even cause death. Deep vein thrombosis and ischemic strokes are the other side effects associated with Nuvaring. All this Nuva ring information about side effects is available on the Internet and any woman intending to use Nuva ring should be aware of the side effects.
