Yasmin to Ocella?

DreamfulSpirit · #1 07-28-2008, 12:12 AM

Through insurance, they make me go through their mail-order thing. Otherwise they make it more expensive to go and get it from the pharmacy. So when I order my Yasmin, they send me 3 months worth at a time. I haven't gotten anything saying I'm being switched to Ocella yet.

Does anyone know anything about this Yasmin/Yaz/Ocella lawsuit? It mentions gallbladder disease. I didn't know that birth control can affect your gallbladder. I had to have mine out last year because it wasn't functioning correctly. I'm curious if anyone has any info or experience with this lawsuit. Should I worry more now?

I haven't heard about this lawsuit, but I've been on Yasmin for almost 5 years now, and I had to get my gallbladder removed last year. The pain started just after I got the first HPV shot, and I linked it to that, as it was too coincidental that I got the shots and the pain started within the next few days. Now I'm wondering if it was due to my birth control...I'm definitely going to see what I can find out.

I've seen some commercials while watching the Wendy Williams Show with a law firm one can call, likely to enter into a class action law suit. I am sure you can google and find the firms that are finding people who have had problems.

That's what I did but all the sites really mention is the possible side effects. I don't see how they can correlate having your gallbladder out with birth control? I've heard that gallbladder removal was common. I have been on Yasmin/Ocella for about 6 years.

It isn't THAT common...and if a lot of people on any medication are having it done, that would definitely raise a red flag.

True. Maybe it seems more common now that I've had it done? It seemed like everyone I had run into had theirs out, old and young.
