Renal Failure and Heart Problems
All NSAIDs share a risk of causing acute renal failure in patients at high risk of kidney disease, such as patients with diabetes. The reason for this is that kidney disease causes the kidney to become dependent on prostaglandin, the very hormone that COX-2 inhibitors repress. COX-2 inhibitors can also inhibit renal function in otherwise healthy patients because of their repression of COX-2's blood-thinning effects on the bloodstream. High blood volume leads to high blood pressure, which strains the heart, interfering with the heart's ability to adequately pump the blood through the body.
If you or someone you love has suffered any of the above conditions or symptoms while taking a COX-2 drug, consider the counsel of a personal injury law firm with experience in dealing with dangerous drug cases. Contact us now to discuss your options and whether or not you may be eligible for compensation for your injuries.
How We Can Help
Suffering a personal injury can put you at a serious disadvantage. No one expects to get hurt, and there is no way to plan your response in advance to an unexpected situation. Injured people can't always fight for themselves because of this disadvantage. Insurance companies and other business organizations, however, can and do plan their response to your injury long before it occurs. They have little incentive to offer you fair and just compensation for what has happened to you.
Personal injury lawyers exist to redress the balance of power between the injured and those that have done harm. They have the power of knowledge of the legal system, knowledge of the types of personal injury claims that exist and their value, and experience with insurance companies. They possess the negotiation skills that help put this power into your hands, and can work to get you a settlement that is usually better than any compensation you could negotiate on your own.
A personal injury can seriously affect your future as well as your current day-to-day activities. You deserve the counsel and protection of a qualified, experienced personal injury law firm that knows how to deal with these claims. We probably have experience with your type of personal injury, and can help you understand the value of your personal injury case and how best to proceed.
