Tysabri Lawsuit - Notification Regarding Tysabri Liver Injury was not a Tysabri Recall

TYSABRI® may have caused severe liver injury that could lead to death or the need for a liver transplant. In a February 2008 “Dear Healthcare Professional Letter,” Biogen Idec, Inc., Elan Corp. and FDA notified healthcare professionals of reports of clinically significant liver injury, including markedly elevated serum hepatic enzymes and elevated total bilirubin, occurring as early as six days after the first dose of Tysabri. This notification was not a Tysabri recall.

Tysabri is used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). The FDA also approved of the use of Tysabri for Crohn’s disease in January 2008, at which time Biogen Idec and Elan first disclosed the risk of Tysabri-related liver injury in updated prescribing information.

With these notifications, health professionals have been put on notice that they need to monitor patients on Tysabri for liver injury. Anyone suffering liver damage after taking Tysabri should contact a lawyer regarding a Tysabri lawsuit, which may include both product liability and malpractice claims. A Tysabri lawyer can explain a malpractice claim.
