Zocor® Lawsuit

Like numerous medicines before it, Zocor® has been linked to a number of side effects. Attorneys who fight on behalf of those who claim to have been hurt by a medication have taken Merck, the manufacturer, to court.

Zocor® is part of a class of prescription drugs more commonly known as simvastatin, a cholesterol controlling medication. The last few years, however, Zocor® has been under scrutiny for causing a myriad of harmful reactions in the body of adults. For more information or to speak with an attorney about a potential injury, contact us today.

Lawsuits Against Merck

Merck has also been accused (in the past five years) of taking advantage of Medicaid and stealing millions of dollars from discounts over an eight-year time span. Merck eventually settled the lawsuit by paying out $650 million to the federal government.

Zocor Side Effects®

Among the most debilitating Zocor® side effects are muscle damage and rhabdomyolysis, a medical condition that can cause kidney damage.

Here is a list of all some known Zocor® side effects:

Severe allergic reactions
Chronic stomach pain
Intense and frequent chest pain
Stool turns pale
Urine grows darker
Skin becomes swollen and yellow, leading to peeling

Rhabdomyolysis, muscle damage, and kidney damage are serious medical conditions that could require extensive, costly treatment. You might be wondering who will assist you in paying your medical bills or how you can get compensated for your personal injuries. That's where a Zocor® lawyer can help.
