What You Need to Know About an Actemra Lawsuit
Roche’s Actemra was heralded as a breakthrough therapy for rheumatoid arthritis when it was introduced in 2010.
The drug’s website proclaims that “Actemra works differently” and shows a patient happily scuba diving and walking on a tropical beach. But nowhere does Roche mention certain side effects that may have contributed to more than 1,100 patient deaths.
Research suggests that Actemra patients, compared to those taking competing rheumatoid arthritis drugs, face similar risks for heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, lung disease, and pancreatitis. But unlike the competition, Actemra’s label does not warn about these side effects.
