Serious Health Concerns
Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella are known as “combination” oral contraceptives because they contain a combination of hormones estrogen (ethinyl estradiol) and progestin (drospirenone). Yasmin was approved for use in the United States in 2001, while Yaz, a lower dose version, was approved for use in 2006. Ocella, a generic version, has been on the market since 2008.
Ocella has been linked to the following serious (sometimes fatal) side effects, including a number of complications involving blood clots (pulmonary embolism, stroke, heart attack). Other Ocella side effects include:
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Elevated blood potassium (hyperkalemia)
- Sudden loss of vision or change in vision
- Liver damage
- Depression or other emotional changes
- Migraines
- Breast lumps
- High cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia)
Since 2004, there have been over 50 deaths reported to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) by women who were taking Yaz, Yasmin, or Ocella. These deaths were associated with cardiac arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, intracardiac thrombosis (blood clots in the heart), pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs), and stroke.

Ocella Lawsuits
Consumers trust drug makers to provide safe, effective medications. When a pharmaceutical company acts negligently, its actions can result in serious side effects. Victims however, may have a remedy by bringing a product liability claim against the drug’s maker.
