Ketek: Patients Diagnosed Liver Damage

PW Retained by Patients Diagnosed with Liver Damage after Using Ketek

Ketek May Cause Liver Damage. Parker & Waichman, LLP (www.www.yourlawyer.com) announces that it has been retained by individuals who suffered liver damage and liver failure after using the antibiotic Ketek. Ketek is manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis (NYSE: SNY) and is commonly prescribed to treat bacterial infections in the lungs and sinuses. It has been reported […]

Ketek was approved by the FDA in 2004 for the treatment of respiratory infections

‘Ketek’ was approved by the FDA in 2004 for the treatment of respiratory infections. The FDA rejected the drug in 2001 and 2003, asking for more safety information. On January 20, 2006 the Annals of Internal Medicine released an article detailing liver toxicity in three ‘Ketek’ patients.

This article detailed patients at Carolinas Medical Center, in Charlotte, North Carolina, who developed various liver problems after using the drug. One patient took ‘Ketek’ for just five days and died from liver failure, another patient required a liver transplant after using the drug, and the third person developed hepatitis after using the medication but later recovered. While the authors of this article stated that these cases don’t conclusively prove that ‘Ketek’ caused the liver problems, the FDA issued a public health advisory on January 20, 2006 that warned of a possible link. The FDA advisory is available at http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety/2006/safety06.htm Ketek.

My experience with Parker Waichman was very professional and thorough from the first day I met with Gerard Ryan regarding my 9/11 claim. He explained in detail how the process works. The paralegals on my case were wonderful in instructing me how to gather my information and what to do at the different stages of the claim. I first worked with Christina Morace followed by Shelly Davis and concluded with Gina Viti. Each of these women was very detailed and helpful in instructing me on what I needed to do. They were very professional, kind and pleasant in all my telephone conversations with them. I must give extra credit to Christina the first person that communicated with me after meeting with Gerard. At a certain stage Shelly Davis began working with me and I found her to be very professional, pleasant and detailed in her instructions. The final stage of the claim I worked with Gina who was also very kind and pleasant. It would have been a pleasure if I had met them in person. Thanks to each of them my case was successfully filed and accepted. Thanks Parker Waichman. Great job Gerald, Christine, Shelly and Gina. No hesitation in recommending you.
