Ocella, a Generic Version of Yasmin Birth Control

Same Ingredients as Yasmin and YAZ, Same Potentially Deadly Health Risks

Ocella was the first generic version of Yasmin marketed in the United States. Ocella is manufactured by Teva Pharmaceuticals, which acquired the previous manufacturer, Barr Laboratories, Inc.

Ocella’s chemical formulation is identical to Yasmin, which means it comes with the risk of the same side effects as Yasmin. These are:

death
blood clots in the legs, known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
pulmonary embolism (PE)
stroke
heart attack; sudden cardiac death; myocardial infarction
abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia)
gallbladder disease and removal
hyperkalemia
elevated potassium levels

          MORE on Ocella side effects

These side effects are caused by drospirenone, the synthetic progestin used in Ocella, as well as in Yasmin and YAZ. Like Yasmin and YAZ, the risk of blood clots is twice as great with Ocella compared to older forms of birth control pills, and Ocella has the added risk of gallbladder disease and hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels).

          MORE on why drospirenone makes Ocella uniquely dangerous

Lawsuits are being filed across the country against the manufacturer of Ocella for failing to warn of these increased health risks and for placing a defective, dangerous product on the market. The attorneys at DeCarli Law are dedicated to helping these women.
