New York Ocella Lawyer

Yaz, Yasmin, and Ocella are birth control pills that have been shown to cause serious side effects. Ocella, the generic form of the drug, contains ethinyl estradiol and the new “fourth generation” progestin, drospirenone (DRSO). Unfortunately, Ocella contraceptives have been linked to the following side effects:

• Blood clots in the legs (Deep Vein Thrombosis or “DVT”)
• Blood clots in the lungs (Pulmonary Embolism or “PE”)
• Portal Vein Thrombosis and blood clots in other veins
• Stroke
• Heart attack and heart disease
• Gallbladder disease
• Sudden death

Recent Studies Find Link between Ocella and Blood Clots

Two recently published studies in the British Medical Journal (August 2009) supported previous findings that women taking progestins such as drospirenone are at a higher risk for developing venous blood clots.
Drospirenone is the ingredient that makes Ocella, Yaz, and Yasmin different from other available contraceptives – for better and for worse. Drospirenone boost the body’s potassium levels, which can cause serious ailments for women including heart attack, stroke, blood clots, pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, kidney failure, and more.

Ocella Side Effects

Ocella birth control is a generic version of Yaz/Yasmin. Ocella is manufactured, marketed, and distributed Barr Laboratories, Inc. These three birth control bills – and only these – contain drospirenone (DRSP). That drug is known to cause high blood pressure, blood clots, heart attacks, strokes, and even death in women who take Ocella.
Other Ocella side effects include:
