Tasigna Atherosclerosis Compensation. The cancer drug Tasigna can cause a severe medical condition known as atherosclerosis, which can lead to life-threatening complications. The attorneys at Parker Waichman LLP are filing lawsuits against the manufacturer of Tasigna on behalf of men and women affected by atherosclerosis and are seeking significant compensation for their injuries. If you used Tasigna and developed atherosclerosis, contact our skilled drug product lawyers today.
Tasigna is manufactured by Novartis Pharma Stein AG and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and is part of a class of drugs called kinase inhibitors. It was designed to treat of a specific cancer of the blood and bone marrow known as chronic phase and accelerated phase Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia (Ph+ CML). Patients with this cancer possess an abnormal chromosome (the Philadelphia chromosome) that uncontrollably produces white blood cells. Tasigna is supposed to help patients with Ph+ CML by blocking the Philadelphia chromosome to prevent it from producing so many white blood cells.
Studies indicate that Tasigna can cause a condition known as atherosclerosis, in which your arteries become thickened or blocked by plaque. The arterial blockage prevents proper blood flow in your body and can lead to serious diseases and additional complications, including:
In 2013, the Canadian drug administration (Health Canada) released a warning related to an association between Tasigna and atherosclerosis-related diseases, and it required Novartis to change its Tasigna drug label to include warnings about the risk of atherosclerosis. To date, Novartis has not made any such changes to its Tasigna label in the United States.
Parker Waichman is pursuing litigation against Novartis for failing to warn patients and doctors in the United States about the risk of developing atherosclerosis and for distributing Tasigna in an unreasonably unsafe condition.
We always tell potential clients that they need an attorney to ensure the best chances of recovery. It is never a good idea to try to litigate your case by yourself. Even if you have some knowledge of the law or court systems, drug product cases are extremely complicated. Keep in mind, in a Tasigna case; you are suing a pharmaceutical giant with seemingly unending resources. You need to work with a firm that can effectively compete with Novartis’ corporate counsel.
Your attorney will need to perform numerous tasks to prepare your case for filing, including:
These tasks only get you to the filing, after which your attorney will engage in discovery and depositions and, in some cases, enter into settlement negotiations with the defense. Litigation takes considerable time and expense, and it is simply not worth the risk of trying to do alone or trying to carry out with an inexperienced attorney. To provide yourself the greatest opportunities for recovery, you need to work with the best lawyers.
