Women Taking Ocella, the Generic Form of Yasmin, At Risk for Serious Health Problems Linked to These Oral Contraceptive Pills

If you or a loved one has taken the generic birth control pill Ocella or Yasmin (its brand name equivalent) and developed serious side-effects, complete the form on this page for a free lawsuit evaluation.

In 2008, Barr Laboratories, Inc. began the marketing and distribution of Ocella, a generic version of the Bayer brand name oral contraceptive Yasmin.

Like Yasmin, the Ocella birth control pill contains chemical forms of hormones that prevent ovulation and cause other changes in a woman’s reproductive cycle to prevent pregnancy.

Serious Health Risks Linked to Use of Ocella
While healthcare professionals have prescribed the generic Ocella to patients who may have taken Yasmin in the past, both forms of the birth control pill contain the same synthetic hormones, which have been linked to a number of serious side effects and health problems, including

Heart attack or stroke;

Gall bladder problems that may require surgery;

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a serious condition that causes blood clots to develop in the legs;

Pulmonary embolism (PE), or blood clots in the lungs; and

Portal vein thrombosis, the term for when blood clots develop in veins in other areas of the body.

All of these conditions can have life-threatening effects. Investigations into these serious side effects have noted that a number of patients have died from complications related to their use of Ocella and/or Yasmin.
