Corpus Christi Amiodarone Class Action Lawsuit Attorneys

Have You or a Loved One Taken Amiodarone & Had Bad Side Effects?

If you are an Amiodarone victim, you may be entitled to compensation. This dangerous drug, which is used to treat irregular heartbeats, causes a range of extreme side effects. Almost 20% of Amiodarone users will develop scarred lung tissue from using this drug, and 10% of those will die. 

Among the companies that manufacture or distribute the drug are:

• Sandoz Inc.
• Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.
• Zydus Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.
• Par Pharmaceutical, Inc.
• Taro Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc.
• Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Inc.
• Upsher-Smith Laboratories, Inc.
• Mayne Pharma, Inc.
• Aurobindo Pharma USA, Inc.
• McKesson Corporation

Amiodarone should only be used when there are no other treatments available, and the FDA requires manufacturers to label it as a “drug of last resort.” But hundreds of victims have alleged that pharmaceutical companies failed to include this warning on the label, causing them to suffer serious injuries.

Unfortunately, FDA approval doesn’t always mean a drug is safe.

Many medications, including Amiodarone, are rush approved with inadequate safety testing. Many more are marketed for unapproved off-label use, which puts millions of people in harm’s way. All this is made even worse when drug companies mislead consumers with irresponsible labeling.

Victims of Dangerous Drugs May Be Entitled to Compensation

If you or a loved one are facing serious complications from a dangerous drug, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and potentially recover compensation for your suffering. 

You can sue a drug manufacturer for:

• Failure to warn: The manufacturer didn’t provide consumers or medical professionals enough information about the risks of taking the drug.
• Dangerous side effects: The drug caused side effects that the manufacturer knew or should have known about, but it did not tell people about them.
• Manufacturing defects: The drug was tainted with unsafe or bad ingredients.

In the case of Amiodarone, hundreds of victims have alleged that the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing Amiodarone failed to warn them about deadly side effects.

The amount you can recover in a lawsuit depends on several factors, including the seriousness of your injuries, the cost of current and future medical care, and the strength of your case.

 Although pharmaceutical industry lobbyists have tried to make it more difficult for victims to receive compensation, it is still possible to recover significant settlements.
