Ocella Lawsuit Information

Ocella class action lawsuits starting with possible case settlements for Ocella victims.

Birth control pills have been around for quite some time and in fact are being used by thousands who try to prevent themselves from getting pregnant. A birth control pill is an oral contraceptive which contains hormones that try to stop ovulation so that the female will be unable to produce an egg for the male sperm to fertilize.

There are many types of birth control pills that are circulating in the market today although one has to be very careful in choosing which birth control pill to use and whether it is safe for your body or not.

One of these is Ocella.

The same brand of pill may cause side effects in most women but it may have only a slight adverse effect on others.  These side effects may generally depend on the overall health condition of the woman taking the contraceptives. But most of the times, however, the side effects caused by taking oral contraceptives or birth control pills may go unnoticed for a little while and the woman taking it would usually overlook the changes that is happening to her.

Some of the changes that may not be noticed for a short time would be mood changes, headaches and weight gain.

Mood changes are also one of the side effects that may go unnoticed by the woman taking birth control pills. This change can only be noticed by the people around her but not by the woman herself.

These things may only be considered as somewhat probably minor changes, but still, this should be a cause for concern already because it might lead to something serious since some of the more serious side effects of birth control pills are blood clots, heart diseases, breast and liver cancer.

Ocella Attorneys are interested in hearing from any women that has suffered the above side effects.

Yasmin Lawsuit Information

Law firms recently have started taking inquires from people who may have a potential  yasmin lawsuit due to injury from side effects.

The FDA issued a letter to Bayer AG and strongly suggested that they talk about the numerous side effects. The FDA felt that the ads were misleading These claims are misleading because they suggest that Yasmin’s “different kind of hormone” offers unique “chemistry” benefits and that this difference contributes to the high rate of drug efficacy.

Yasmin is a type of birth control pill marketed and manufactured by the German company Bayer Schering Pharma AG Yasmin first entered the American market in 2001 and has generated close to 500 million in sales to date.Yasmin is an oral contraceptive and is a synthetic spironolactone analogue known in the medical world as drospirenone.

Drospirenone binds to the progesterone receptor, the resulting complex becomes activated and binds to specific sites on DNA. This leads to an increased difficulty of sperm entry into the uterus and implantation.

When the Yasmin TV advertising started the FDA took issue with the television commercials which featured women discussing the benefits of the product. The ads had a music score and dialog between the actors.

While there has been no official Yasmin recall, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned Bayer AG that the advertising campaign for Yasmin and Yaz were misleading, namely that the ads suggested a broad useage of the medication, minimized potentially serious side effects, and overstated the efficacy of the pill.

Twice have letters been sent to Bayer AG, and once has Bayer AG been ordered to correct its ads, costing the company a total of $20 million. Bayer AG is also under obligation to submit future ad campaigns to the FDA for approval before it launches them in the U.S.
