Birth control pills are familiar options when it comes to choosing contraceptives in these modern times, and some of the newer brands on the market, like Yaz, Ocella and yasmin have succeeded in becoming well known really quickly. It was proposed that they can successfully deal with conditions such as pre-menstrual syndrome (otherwise known as PMS), acne or PDD. Although their side effects, several of which are potentially extremely serious, have not experienced the same level of publicity. As everybody knows, women have indeed been taking oral contraceptives for some time, and life threatening side effects have not been a notable problem. Yet, these drugs work differently. Ocella contains drospirenone alongside the everyday female hormones. Doctors initially hoped that this could be used to cure acne outbreaks too, following a 21/7 or 24/4 pattern.
Now, however, those specializing in litigation focused on Ocella have said adamantly that the public must be made aware of these types of deadly side effects. This includes problems like blood clots and pulmonary embolism, heart attacks and the chance that users could eventually face sudden death. These types of possible problems are exacerbated by exposure to drospirenone-based medicines like Ocella. Using Ocella will likely increase the potassium levels in your blood. Such a thing by itself is hazardous enough. However, it might also cause other issues if you need other medication such as NSAIDS, for example - for example Motrin or ACE inhibitors for pre-existing medical conditions. If potassium levels are too high, the risk of other side effects increases. Despite all of this, these tablets have not been recalled either by the makers or the FDA and no warnings have been given to consumers in relation to the use of Ocella. There isn’t much that can be done in terms of treatment, although you are strenuously encouraged to talk to a lawyer. You could possibly ask a doctor about anticoagulants which can stop clots forming in your bloodstream. Or you could ask about having a little metal filter inserted into your major heart vein. Unfortunately, apart from these options, patients who have been exposed to the effects outlined above will just have to regularly check any health worries for the rest of their days.
Legal experts who specialize in Ocella related cases can provide expert advice to patients who might have taken oral contraceptives containing drospirenone and have subsequently experienced any side effects. By contacting such attorneys, patients can consider their options and may decide to take their case to court. If patients are successful in gaining compensation thanks to the work of an expert lawyer, it may help them defray their medical bills, or compensate for hours out of work required for various tests and doctors appointments. It could help them pay the bills for any treatments and surgeries that may have been required. All of these things can help alleviate the strain that Ocella has caused for them.
