Let Our Columbus Injury Lawyers Fight For Your Rights

Ocella is one of the many brand names for the oral contraceptive drospirenone (others include Yasmin and Yaz).  In its various forms, drospirenone has come under scrutiny from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to potentially deadly side effects that the drug’s warning labels virtually ignored.  If you have suffered an adverse reaction to Ocella or any of the other forms of drospirenone, you may be eligible to seek compensation for your injuries through a product liability lawsuit.  A Columbus injury attorney from Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co.

Ocella Side Effects

Ocella and other forms of drospirenone can cause many different side effects, including:

  • Numbness or weakness
  • Confusion and difficulty with speech
  • Vision problems or pain behind the eyes
  • Chest pain that spreads to the arms or shoulders
  • Nausea, sweating, and general sick feeling
  • Migraine headaches
  • Stomach discomfort and loss of appetite
  • Jaundice
  • Symptoms associated with depression (anxiety, inability to sleep, mood changes, etc.)

Drug makers have glossed over many of these side effects on their warning labels, and this has led to numerous lawsuits in the past against drospirenone’s manufacturers.  Product liability lawsuits are unique in that a plaintiff does not need to prove that the defendant was negligent.  Product manufacturers are liable for the injuries caused by their products through a concept called strict liability.  The act of releasing a dangerous product is grounds for legal liability, regardless of whether the defendant was negligent.

Let Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co. L.P.A. Help You

You should not make the mistake of thinking that strict liability makes for an easy lawsuit.  Drug companies have had years of experience defending themselves against these types of lawsuits, and they have found ways to avoid liability through obscure legal technicalities that people without legal experience have probably never heard of.  If you are going to stand up to these drug company giants, you need to help of an experienced product liability attorney from Kitrick, Lewis & Harris, Co. L.P.A. Our attorneys have decades of combined experience with defective drug cases, and we know how to build the lawsuit that you will need.  We want to help you however we can, whether you need an aggressive lawyer to litigate your case or you just want some advice from a professional.  If you have suffered an injury due to a reaction to Ocella or any other medication, contact our lawyers today.
