Valsartan liver damage

 

When a patient is prescribed a medication to treat a medical condition or alleviate symptoms, some side effects are expected. However, no one expects that the medications they are taking are unsafe or even deadly because of negligent manufacturing processes. We expect that drug manufacturers will follow all of the safety requirements, standards and guidelines set forth by the FDA here in the United States even while making the medications in a foreign country. Especially when marketing these drugs here in the United States.

In this case, numerous Valsartan lawsuits allege the manufacturer used cancer causing chemicals in the manufacturing process and the sellers and distributors of these medications neglected to ensure these drugs were safe and contamination-free. Our law firm is appalled by these actions that put you or those you love at a high risk of developing several types of organ cancer.

By filing a Valsartan lawsuit with our firm, you could be entitled to receive money damages for Valsartan-related suffering and costs such as:

  • Emotional pain and suffering
  • Lifelong, Recurring Medical Treatment
  • Past Medical Treatment Costs
  • Present and Future Medical Treatment Costs
  • Past or Future Surgical Operations
  • Lost Wages – Past, Present and Future
  • Punitive Damages (in some cases a judge or jury may determine punitive damages to punish the defendants for their negligence.)
  • And Other Monetary Damages (Depending on the facts of your case.)

Why Did the FDA Recall Valsartan, Irbesartan, Losartan?

Valsartan settlement

 

In 2018, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recalled Valsartan and other related drugs because of N-nitrosodimethylaminecontamination. According to the EPA, N-nitrosodimethylamineis a known carcinogen. Patients who were prescribed generic Valsartan from 2012 to 2018 were unknowingly consuming N-nitrosodimethylaminedaily and for many years.

In 2018,Valsartan, a medication used to treat congestive heart failure and hypertension (high blood pressure), was recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) contamination. The FDA also issued 45 blood pressure medication recalls for generic drugs such as Losartan and Irbesartan and brand name drugs such as Valsartan, Amlodipine, and Losartan. According to the EPA, N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) is a known carcinogen. A total of twenty-two countries have issues safety recalls of Valsartan, Amlodipine, and Losartan. The FDA asserted that these medications contaminated with N-nitrosodimethylamineput those prescribed the drugs at a high risk of developing cancer. Numerous lawsuits maintain that theseN-nitrosodimethylamine contaminated drugs caused liver cancer, intestinal cancer, stomach cancer and colorectal cancer.

On May 6, 2019, the FDA sent out another losartan-containing medication alert to health care professionals and patients warning of a recall of 19 lots of losartan potassium tablets which are sold by Heritage Pharmaceuticals Inc, East Brunswick, New Jersey and are manufactured by Vivimed Life Sciences Pvt Ltd based in Alathur, Chennai, India. The recall was initiated because some lots tested positive of N-Nitroso-N-methyl-4-aminobutyric acid (NMBA). Vivimed has recalled several lots of its generic, losartan-containing medication which had tested positive for NMBA at 9.82 parts per million or more. This meets the interim acceptable intake limit of allowable NMBA set by the FDA during their investigation. The maximum allowable NMBA set by the FDA is 0.96 parts per million. The FDA will review each drug on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the amount of NMBA may exceed 0.96 parts per million. The FDA recommends that all patients who are taking a recalled angiotensin II receptor blockers or ARBs to continue to take their medication, as prescribed, until their doctor or pharmacist provides an alternative medication.

The FDA has also provided an update to their list of recalled ARBs including:

  • Valsartan
  • Losartan
  • Irbesartan
  • Amlodipine / Valsartan combination
  • Diovan

The FDA’s website provides a detailed list of its recalled Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs)including Valsartan, Losartan and Irbesartan.

Lawsuits filed against the manufactures and sellers of generic Valsartan allege the N-nitrosodimethylaminecontamination caused individuals to develop liver damage, liver cancer, stomach cancer, Intestinal cancer, and colorectal cancer as a result.

According to an FDA Recall Update, a second impurity, N-Nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), which is also a known carcinogen, was discovered reacquiring Torrent Pharmaceuticals’ to recall its valsartan drug productson August 23, 2018.

According to the FDA, recent FDA testing has concluded that “not all valsartan products contain NDMA or NDEA,” which is good news for many patients. Also, pharmacies may have alternative options for filling valsartan prescription and physicians may prescribe safe alternative medications that treat high blood pressure.

What Caused the N-nitrosodimethylamineContamination?

Valsartan lawsuit pleadings allege the active ingredients, for Valsartan and related drugs, were manufactured inside unsafe, unregulated manufacturing plants located in China and India. A report by GMP-Compliance.org states the N-nitrosodimethylamine contamination was the result of a change in the manufacturing process. In this report, “N,N- dimethylformamide (DMF) had been used as a new solvent” in the manufacturing process since 2012.

A former FDA inspector substantiated those allegations in an interview when he stated that those manufacturing plants were not properly managed. The lack of quality management resulted in systemic failures leading to the use of a N-nitrosodimethylaminesolvent, a known carcinogen, in the medications’ manufacturing process. The former FDA inspector also stated that he tried to have regulators issue an immediate FDA recall but was unsuccessful.

German pharmaceutical researcher and professor Dr. Fritz Sörgel stated in a German Apotheke Adhoc article, that the discovery N,N- dimethylformamide being used in the manufacturing process “seems like the contamination had been discovered by chance” and this astonished Professor Sörgel.

What Should Patients Taking These Drugs Do?

In an FDA press release, the FDA recommends that patients should contact their pharmacist and prescribing physician as soon as possible. The FDA also recommends that patients continue taking their current prescribed medications until a pharmacist or their prescribing physician provides a different treatment option.
