Ocella Lawyer

Our Ocella lawyers can help you if you or a loved one has been injured while taking the birth control pill. Some of most severe health risks associated with this type of birth control pill include heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism and death.

What is Ocella?

Similar to the popular birth control pill, Yaz, Ocella is an oral contraceptive that is composed of the progestin component, drospirenone, and the estrogen component, ethinyl estradiol — a hormone combination that is designed to prevent pregnancy. Drospirenone is the ingredient that makes Ocella, Yaz and Yasmin different from any other contraceptive on the market. However, it is also the ingredient that makes this pill unsafe for users.

Important Information You Need to Know

If you’re considering switching to Ocella birth control pills, you should discuss your complete medical history with your doctor who will help you determine if this is the right pill for you. If you have any of the following conditions, you should NOT take Ocella:

• History of stroke or blood clots
• Problems with circulation
• Breast or uterine cancer
• Kidney or liver diseases
• High blood pressure
• History of migraine headaches

People with a history of any of the listed conditions should consult their doctors before using Ocella, Yaz or Yasmin.

Ocella Birth Control Side Effects

It is also important to note that serious health risks and side effects have been linked to Ocella use, even among users without a history of any conditions mentioned above. Side effects may include heart attack, stroke, blood clots, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, kidney failure and more. This is due, in part, because the progestin component, drospirenone, causes an increase in potassium levels which may potentially result in blood clots.

Legal Woes of Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella

Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Yaz/Yasmin has come under fire from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for airing misleading ads that overstated the benefits of Yaz without disclosing the serious side effects, making the drug appear much safer than it really is. As a result, these ads have been pulled from television and replaced with commercials that mention these serious side effects and put its benefits in perspective.

Due to the serious side effects associated with Ocella, Yaz, and Yasmin, many are calling on the FDA to ban these pills. Women and their families who have been affected by these serious side effects are consulting attorneys to learn their rights. As a result, class action lawsuits are forming around the country.
