Dangerous and Recalled Cardiac Drugs

In the United States, the drug approval process is designed to thoroughly research and test new drugs before approval for sale to the public. A cardiac drug recall lawyer in North Carolina understands that in some instances, however, drugs have been approved that need to be withdrawn from the market at a later date, often because pharmaceutical companies have failed to test drugs as extensively as they should. In some situations, companies have been found to have failed their customers by neglecting to disclose the risky side effects of their products, even though they knew the risks. An individual encountering this situation may want to consult with a drug recall lawyer.

Dangerous Cardiac Drug Cases that we handle include:

Trasylol (aprotinin) Linked to Kidney Failure - Heart Attack - Strokes

Trasylol (aprotinin) is a clotting agent injected during coronary artery bypass surgery to prevent excessive blood loss. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in January 2006 found that administration of trasyslol at least doubles the risk of kidney failure and stroke in cardiac patients and raises the risk of heart attack or heart failure by 55%. As many as 10,000 people may now be on dialysis as a result. If you have suffered any of these injuries after being injected with trasylol during coronary artery bypass surgery, you deserve the counsel of an experienced legal team.

Heart Drug Natrecor Worsens Kidneys; Raises Death Risk

In two major analyses published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, prominent cardiologists found that administering Natrecor to heart patients may increase the chance of their death within 30 days by as much as 74%, and their risk of kidney failure by as much as 50%. The FDA only approved Natrecor for use in emergency-room patients who are unable to breathe even when at rest, but Natrecor has been aggressively marketed to other patients as a maintenance therapy. Our law firm is investigating this matter to determine if liability exists. If you or someone you love has suffered kidney problems that led to dialysis, further complication of breathing problems, worsening heart problems, or died within 30 days of being given Natrecor, you are urged to contact us right now. There is no obligation to hire our firm.

Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you are seeking a personal injury lawyer you have come to the right place. We know that accidents and injuries are an inevitable part of life, but the fact that accidental mishaps are common does not resolve the pain and suffering accidents can cause. This is especially true if that injury could have been avoided. For example, some drugs are not completely tested for safety or removed from the market despite concerns about them. Some products are found to be dangerous.

If you or a loved one have suffered in an accident, from taking a dangerous drug, using a recalled product or from any other cause, you may be thinking about how to protect your legal rights by consulting with a personal injury attorney. Learning about personal injury litigation, and cases we are currently investigating, may help you determine whether you need the counsel of an experienced personal injury lawyer from a firm such as the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin.
