A number of CellCept® deaths have been reported to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The Early Communication issued by the FDA in April 2008 notes the possible connection between CellCept® and deaths due to PML, or progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, a life-threatening neurological disease. The prognosis for a patient who has developed PML after CellCept® treatment is very poor, and there is no sure cure available for PML.
A patient who has been treated with CellCept® should be aware of the symptoms of PML:
If you’ve been treated with CellCept® and experiencing any of these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
In addition to the CellCept® deaths related to PML, a significant number of miscarriages are confirmed to have been caused by CellCept®. The warnings on CellCept® packaging now include wording advising that any female patient of childbearing age be on contraception (preferably, two methods of contraception) before, during, and for weeks following CellCept® treatment. The death of one’s unborn child can be a very traumatic event, and CellCept® treatment should not be the cause of a baby’s death.
Talk to an attorney who helps the victims of dangerous drugs such as CellCept®. If you’ve suffered losses due to a CellCept® death or injury, you may be eligible for financial compensation from the maker of CellCept®, Roche Holding AG.
