Xeljanz Lawsuit
What should you do when a medication makes you feel worse, not better? Whether it’s over-the-counter medicine or a prescription from a doctor, drugs are meant to treat a patient. However, when the side effects exceed the benefits, medicines can become very dangerous and sometimes lethal.
Pharmaceutical companies and suppliers have both an ethical and legal responsibility to properly disclose the risks and side effects of a drug before bringing it to market, but all too often those warnings are withheld in the name of profit.
However, in just the last two years, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned that Xeljanz can be associated with heart problems, blood clots, and even cancer. But the question remains: why didn’t Pfizer warn consumers about these potential risks sooner?
