OCELLA vs. YASMIN
“Ocella” is the generic version of the controversial birth control pills Yasmin and Yaz, alleged to cause serious side effects in women

OCELLA vs. YASMIN

A growing number of lawsuits have been filed over the side effects of birth control pills marketed under the names Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella (generic), alleging the popular contraceptives can increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis, (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), gallbladder disease, other serious injuries and death. Yaz side effects have been well documented in the news.

Ocella vs. Yasmin vs. Yaz – not a big difference!

Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella have been linked to an increased risk of blood clots, which can result in stroke, heart attack, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or sudden death.

Manufactured by Bayer Corporation (formerly known as Berlex Laboratories, Inc. and Berlex, Inc.), Yaz pills represent the newer sister drug to Yasmin. Ocella is the generic version of both products.

Yaz and Yasmin are combined oral birth control pills that contain ethinyl estradiol and droperinone. In 2008, Yaz accounted for 18% of the birth control market with sales of $616 million and Yasmin had 11% of the market with $382 million in sales.

Sales increased sharply over 2007 numbers, largely due to marketing campaigns that have since been called “misleading” by the U.S. Food and Drug administration (FDA).

Read the FDA warning letter asking Bayer to correct those misleading television commercials.
