Reported Ketek Problems
In January 2006, the Annals of Internal Medicine reported three cases of severe Ketek problems involving liver failure and liver damage. One patient required a liver transplant and the other patient died. Since then, Ketek has been associated with 23 cases of serious liver injury, 12 cases of liver failure that led to four deaths, and at least 44 reported cases of less serious Ketek liver problems .
Furthermore, some patients experienced liver damage within the first couple days of Ketek treatment and few of those had other health problems that could have resulted in liver injury. The FDA and other experts have concluded that Ketek is consistently and clearly associated with liver failure and other life-threatening Ketek problems that may lead to serious injury and death.
Currently, Ketek''s manufacturer, Sanofi-Aventis SA, is revising the warning label on the drug to reflect the increased risk of life-threatening Ketek problems and severe side effects including liver failure and liver death linked to Ketek use.
Avoiding Ketek Problems
• Ketek should not be prescribed or taken by patients who have a history of liver problems or liver damage.
• Physicians are urged to monitor patients for signs and symptoms of liver damage including jaundice, abdominal pain, dark urine, loss of appetite, and more.
• Contact your healthcare provider immediately to report any signs of liver damage and other Ketek problems.
