Ocella Side Effects
Ocella, a generic alternative to the brand name birth control pill known as Yasmin, is a contraceptive pill that is made up of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol, a bio-active strain of estrogen. Ocella is only available via prescription.
Like Yasmin, Ocella has also been reported to cause a range of mild to severe side effects that, in the worst cases can be fatal. To minimize the risks of developing such serious health complications, it's essential that women:
- With the help of their doctors, weigh out their individual risk versus benefit of taking Ocella
- Only take Ocella as instructed
- Take time to understand the range of possible side effects, along with their associated symptoms
- Undergo emergency medical care, should they start experiencing symptoms of serious Ocella side effects
- Consult with an experienced defective drug lawyer, once their health is stable, to learn more about their legal rights and entitlements
Severe Side Effects of Ocella
As with all birth control pills, women are at risk of suffering mild side effects. In some cases, however, women have reported to have suffered more severe side effects, including:
- Blood clots
- Breast lumps
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
- Gallbladder disease
- Heart attack
- Hyperkalemia
- Kidney disease
- Liver damage
- Pulmonary embolism (PE)
- Severe allergic reaction
- Stroke
If left undiagnosed or untreated, each of these conditions can be fatal. In most cases, women who develop any of these Ocella injuries will also need long-term treatments, including surgery, medications, dietary chances and physical therapy.
Compensation for Ocella Injuries
If you or a loved one is injured from Ocella (or your loved one dies from an Ocella side effect), you will be entitled to compensation for your:
- Funeral and burial costs (if an Ocella death occurs)
- Outstanding medical bills
- Ongoing treatment costs
- Permanent disabilities
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
