Prescription Drug Litigation

Unfortunately, FDA approval does not necessarily indicate that a drug is safe. Many drugs that were approved have caused a heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, or drug related suicide. We handle drug safety lawsuits counterfeit medicine litigation involving

• Vioxx. When Vioxx was first released on the market, it was prescribed to combat pain, especially pain associated with osteoarthritis. Unfortunately, Vioxx allegedly causes a host of cardiovascular problems, including ulceration and gastrointestinal bleeding. For some, the effect may have been fatal.
• Fosamax. Fosamax is still prescribed to treat osteoporosis. For some, there are alleged side effects concerning their digestive system--peptic ulcers, heartburn, and nausea--can be quite severe.
• Fake Viagra. Of all the drugs currently counterfeited, Viagra is the most common.
• Knock off Tamilflu. This counterfeit is especially dangerous. At best, it has no effect, allowing the flu to get worse.
• Bextra. Bextra is similar to Vioxx. It is prescribed for arthritic pain, and has alleged similar side effects.
• Ephedra. This once-common supplement may pose a high risk for people with high blood pressure and anxiety disorders.

Class Action Lawsuits

Our first class action lawsuit involved a heart valve case. That was over 20years ago. Since then, we developed a nationwide network of class action lawyers. Consequently, compared to most law firms of our size, we can bring cases that are more difficult and complex. If you have been hurt by a drug, chances are, you may already be a member of a class. We can help you get the settlement or award that you need. Call us today to find out more.
