Exjade Kidney Failure

In November 2005, the FDA approved Exjade for use in patients who receive regular blood transfusions. The drug removes excess iron build up, which can cause serious damage to internal organs and sometimes death. However, since its approval, Exjade has been linked to potentially fatal kidney failure. On May 14, 2007, Novartis issued a letter to health care professionals warning of the drug’s serious side effects, including Exjade kidney failure.

Patients who have been prescribed this drug and have suffered Exjade kidney failure or other severe side effect may be able to take action against Novartis, the company responsible for manufacturing this harmful drug.

Exjade Kidney Failure and Other Side Effects

According to the Food and Drug Administration, Novartis has received reports of kidney failure and death in patients taking Exjade. In addition to these devastating effects, Exjade has also been linked to:

Blood vessel inflammation
Hives
Hypersensitivity reactions
Potentially deadly cytopenias

Novartis said that most of the patients who died while taking Exjade already had serious illnesses, but the company also admitted it could not discount Exjade as a contributing factor.

What Are My Legal Options After Exjade Kidney Failure?

Pharmaceutical companies have the obligation to ensure that the drugs they sell are safe for consumers. The pressure and competition among pharmaceutical companies to capture a market sometimes result in the approval and use of unsafe drugs. When this happens, consumers have the right to take legal action.

If you or a loved one has suffered Exjade kidney failure or other adverse effect associated with the use of Exjade, an experienced lawyer can evaluate your case, inform you of your legal rights and options, and help you get the compensation you deserve for your losses.
