Also marketed under the brand varenicline, Chantix is a Pfizer-made medication that blocks the brain's nicotine receptors, reduces cravings for cigarettes and ultimately helps people stop smoking.
However, while Pfizer claims that over six million people have successfully quit smoking after using Chantix, thousands of patients have reported experiencing some kind of injury after taking this medication.
In fact, from its U.S. introduction in August 2006 until May 2008, the FDA received over 6,300 patient complaints regarding Chantix side effects. Of these, over 3,000 patients reported suffering from serious Chantix injuries.
While not all patients will experience complications after taking this smoking cessation medication, some will develop mild to serious side effects. Among the less serious Chantix injuries are:
Unfortunately, however, many patients also have a significant risk of developing more serious Chantix injuries, which can include any one or more of the following:
If any of the above Chantix injuries persist without treatment, they can be fatal.
Interestingly, some Chantix injuries occur when patients become drowsy after taking the medication and get into an accident. The side effects of Chantix that can increase people's incidence of accidents include:
To prevent any of these Chantix complications from causing potentially fatal accidents, doctors recommend that patients avoid driving, operating heavy machinery or performing other complicated tasks when taking Chantix.
Seek immediate medical treatment, pursue follow-up care and find a new option in your fight to stop smoking. Once your health is stable, meet with a personal injury attorney and find out if you are entitled to compensation for your Chantix injuries.
Most people who suffer from an injury after taking Chantix will be entitled to a substantial monetary settlement, if they choose to pursue a personal injury lawsuit. To encourage affected patients to start their case, many Chantix lawyers offer free consultations and will delay payment for their services until (or unless) their clients win their case.
With the help of a Chantix lawyer, you can get the money you need to pay for critical and ongoing medical treatments.
