Tysabri - Lawyer for Medical Malpractice

URGENT INFORMATION REGARDING TYSABRI: Lawyer Fred Pritzker, lead attorney for medical malpractice cases involving dangerous drugs, is monitoring TYSABRI®. FDA has warned healthcare professionals that Tysabri may cause serious liver damage that may lead to a liver transplant or death.

A February 2008 FDA product safety alert stated, “reports of clinically significant liver injury, including markedly elevated serum hepatic enzymes and elevated total bilirubin, occurred as early as six days after the first dose of Tysabri. The combination of transaminase elevations and elevated bilirubin without evidence of obstruction is recognized as an important predictor of severe liver injury that may lead to death or the need for a liver transplant in some patients. Tysabri should be discontinued in patients with jaundice or other evidence of significant liver injury. Physicians should inform patients that Tysabri may cause liver injury.”

With this FDA product safety alert and related "Dear Healthcare Professional Letter", doctors and other healthcare professionals have been put on notice that patients on Tysabri need to be closely monitored. If a patient suffers serious liver damage or dies after taking Tysabri, a lawyer should be contacted as soon as possible. A medical malpractice attorney will review the patient’s medical records, obtain testimony from relevant persons, and take other measures to gather and preserve evidence. A Tysabri lawsuit may include a product liability claim.

Read more about Zicam: Zicam class action lawsuit, warning letter from the FDA to Matrixx Initiatives, Inc. regarding Zicam Cold Remedy nasal spray and gel swabs, Zicam recall.

After only one use of a Zicam Cold Remedy product, Bonnie Blodgett lost her sense of smell. A gradening writer and foodie, her life was drastically changed. She recently published Remembering Smell: A Memoir of Losing--and Discovering--the Primal Sense in which she chronicals her experience with losing her sense of smell and then slowly getting it back again.

Bonnie's experience with Zicam is similar to many of our other clients. They experienced a burning sensation during the first use of a Zicam product and then lost their sense of smell (anosmia). Most of them were not as fortunate as Bonnie and have not regained their sense of smell.
