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.
