In November 2010 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initiated a propoxyphene recall in response to evidence that the drug was a serious health risk. Many users of the drug have had irreversible damage done to their hearts as a result of taking the medication, and a propoxyphene lawsuit may be the only way they will be able to receive compensation for their injuries.

If you think you've been harmed by a propoxyphene-containing drug such as Darvon® or Darvocet®, please contact us for information about a propoxyphene lawsuit today.

Propoxyphene Lawsuits

Propoxyphene lawsuits will involve its adverse effects. There were always well-known and common side effects from taking the drug, which varied from rashes and headaches to vomiting and liver damage. The most severe dangers were not discovered until recently, when evidence showed that propoxyphene disrupted the electric functions of the heart. These electrical functions are responsible for maintaining the steady beat that keeps us alive.

The irregular heartbeats, known as arrhythmia, can also lead to even more serious consequences. The propoxyphene lawsuits will be seeking compensation for those who suffered heart attacks, congestive heart failure, or cardiac arrest as a result of the adverse effects of the painkiller. These serious heart conditions cause permanent and often fatal damage to the heart, and while a propoxyphene lawsuit cannot undo the damage, it may help in dealing with the aftermath.

Class Action Propoxyphene Lawsuit

Propoxyphene was originally approved for sale in 1957. Along with the generic versions it was sold under the brand names Darvon® and Darvocet®, which is a combination drug that combines propoxyphene and acetaminophen . There are literally millions of people who were exposed to the adverse effects prior to the propoxyphene recall.

In this type of litigation it often makes sense for patients with similar injuries to ban together as a class and file a lawsuit together. Our propoxyphene lawyers will find out if a class action has been formed (and then if you qualify), or if filing an individual lawsuit is best for you.
