Often, the drugs your doctor or healthcare professional prescribes you successfully treat or alleviate a problem. However, not all prescription pharmaceuticals are safe. Sometimes drugs that were supposed to help patients end up harming them instead. The side effects of some drugs can even cause death. When that happens, the experienced California drug injury lawyers at Berg Injury Lawyers are here to help you.
Dangerous & Recalled Drug Lawsuits
At Berg Injury Lawyers, our California drug injury attorneys have the resources and experience to help you with a variety of claims, including:
- Beovu
Beovu is supposed to treat wet age-related macular degeneration. However, the American Society of Retina Specialists has discovered that Beovu may instead cause blindness in some patients. - Heartburn Drugs Linked to Kidney Disease
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a class of prescription heartburn drugs, are used to reduce acid in a patient’s stomach. But many of the most popular PPIs have been linked to serious health risks, including chronic kidney disease. - HIV and STD Prevention Drugs
PrEP drugs, including Atripla®, Viread®, Stribild®, and Complera®, help prevent HIV in patients at high risk of HIV and other STDs. However, people who take these medications may be at risk of serious and harmful side effects including kidney disease and bone density loss. When drug companies don’t warn users of the health risks their products can cause, they should be held responsible. - Onglyza®
An FDA advisory committee concluded that taking the prescription Type 2 diabetes drug Onglyza® (saxagliptin) can increase the risk of heart failure—a fatal condition. - Provigil® and Nuvigil®
When taken by pregnant mothers, Provigil® and Nuvigil® can lead to an increased risk of birth defects including cleft palates, heart defects, and more. - Weight Loss Drugs
Mainstream and social media coverage have created a surge in the usage of injectable type 2 diabetes medications, such as Ozempic and Rybelsus, for weight loss purposes. While these glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists were originally formulated to assist type 2 diabetes patients in regulating their blood sugar levels, they have recently emerged as effective tools for weight reduction. This unforeseen benefit has led medical practitioners to prescribe them off-label for weight loss, alongside another GLP-1 agonist named Wegovy, which is designed and prescribed exclusively for weight loss. - Xeljanz®
Did you or a loved one develop blood clots in your lungs after taking Xeljanz? If so, you may be eligible for compensation, and we want to help you get it. - Zofran®
Zofran is sometimes prescribed to treat severe morning sickness in pregnant women—an off-label, or unapproved, use. However, data indicates that the drug may lead to birth defects in children.
