Ocella
Ocella is the generic of Yaz/Yasmin. Not many lawyers are paying attention to Ocella lawsuits. But there is no reason to believe that Ocella claims are any different from the claims made in the Yaz lawsuits. All three drugs contain drospirenone. The combination of drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol is used as contraception to prevent pregnancy which these drugs ostensibly do reasonably effectively compared to other birth control pills.
The concern raised with Ocella is that, like Yaz and Yasmin, it contains drospirenone which has been is linked to an increase in potassium that causes abnormal heart rhythms. In Ocella there is particular fear with blood clots in the heart that can cause stroke, heart attack, or sudden death.
