Chantix® and Liver Failure

Chantix® Liver Failure

The smoking-cessation drug Chantix® may be linked to liver failure in some patients. The list of dangerous potential side effects of Chantix® (generic name, varenicline) includes such problems as:

severe depression and mood swings
suicidal thinking and behavior
cardiac rhythm disturbances and acute myocardial infarction
diabetes
severe skin disturbances, including Stevens Johnson Syndrome
hepatitis

Liver Failure

Liver failure is a life-threatening condition. The liver cleans the body’s blood, fights infections, and stores energy, and thus any medical problem that keeps the liver from functioning properly can be very dangerous.

When an individual has liver failure, the liver loses its ability to function. The early symptoms of liver failure are often:

nausea
loss of appetite
diarrhea
fatigue

These symptoms could indicate a large number of conditions, and liver failure may not be the first diagnosis. However, as liver failure continues, the symptoms get more serious - extreme fatigue, confusion/disorientation, and eventual coma if not caught in time.

If you are taking Chantix® and experiencing any symptoms that may indicate liver failure, contact a physician immediately. With timely medical care, the liver of a patient suffering liver failure may be saved - or at least the part of the liver that still works may be saved. Another option for liver failure is a liver transplant.

If You Have Liver Failure Following Chantix® Treatment

Chantix® is marketed as merely an aid to quitting smoking, but the risks of taking this smoking cessation drug may not outweigh its benefits. If you’ve developed the symptoms of liver failure or have been diagnosed with this condition after taking Chantix®, contact a personal injury law firm to discuss your circumstances. You may be able to obtain compensation for your injuries and losses.
