Xenical lawyers for the injured — that is, plaintiffs' lawyers — provide the legal counsel, negotiation skills, and litigation experience that protect and advance the rights of the injured. As a prescription diet drug, Xenical has been available in the U.S. since 1999 at thousands of physicians' offices and family health centers, but its use has been linked to severe liver damage.

Ongoing Safety Review of Xenical by the FDA

In fact, Xenical is under increased scrutiny from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the federal agency charged with making sure that the drugs and food consumed in the U.S. are safe. The FDA has been conducting an Ongoing Safety Review of Xenical (generic name: orlistat) based on the many reports of severe liver injuries among Xenical users.

A Dangerous Prescription Drug

Xenical lawyers are product liability attorneys. They represent individuals and families who are impacted by a dangerous or defective product, whether that product is a an over-the-counter or prescription drug, a medical device, a vehicle, an appliance, sports equipment, or any product that is marketed as safe for use by the general public. The manufacturers and distributors of such products have a legal duty to make sure that the products are truly safe when used as directed.

Xenical is prescribed for obese adults (those with a body mass index of 27 or more). The company that makes Xenical, Roche Laboratories, says that Xenical helps patients take off excess weight by preventing one-third of the fat they consume from being absorbed by their bodies.

Compensation for Xenical Damages

If you received your prescription for Xenical from a doctor or a family health center and you have suffered serious adverse effects such as liver problems, you can turn to a Xenical lawyer for help. He or she will explain your legal rights and options and move forward with a legal action on your behalf if you decide on that course.

Individuals who have suffered due to a dangerous drug may be eligible for financial compensation for losses they've incurred, such as:

• bills for medical treatment — both emergency and long-term
• lost wages from missing work time — in the present and the future, if applicable
• long-term nursing care
• rehabilitation (physical and occupational)
• out-of-pocket expenses such as help at home
• in fatal cases, loss of a loved one's financial contribution and companionship
• funeral and burial bills
