Plavix lawsuits are being investigated and reviewed nationwide for users of the blood thinner who suffered serious and potentially fatal injuries. Recent studies have confirmed that Plavix side effects could lead problems which the manufacturer failed to warn about.

The lawyers at Saiontz, Kirk & Miles, P.A. are reviewing potential Plavix lawsuits for users who suffered serious injuries, including:

  • Heart attacks
  • Strokes
  • Internal bleeding
  • Ulcers
  • Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpora (TTP)
  • Death

The makers of Plavix, Sanofi-Aventis and Britol-Myer Squibb, knew about the Plavix risks, yet they have failed to warn users and have made misleading promotional statements to physicians about the safety of Plavix.

PLAVIX DANGERS

Despite claims by the makers of Plavix that it is superior to Aspirin in preventing heart attacks and strokes, studies have found that the medication carries no significant benefit and Plavix dangers actually increase the risk of injury for some users. For individuals with high cholesterol or high blood pressure, Plavix doubles the risk of a heart attack, stroke or serious bleed.  For users with a history of gastrointestinal problems, the blood thinner carries twelve (12) times the risk of recurrent ulcers or gi bleeds when compared with aspirin and a heartburn pill.

FAILURE TO WARN OF PLAVIX DANGERS

Since Plavix was introduced, the warnings have not sufficiently informed patients or the medical community of the risks associated with the blood thinner.  The manufacturers, Sanofi-Aventis and Bristol-Myer Squibb, owe a duty to their consumers and to the community to fully disclose all potential Plavix side effects.  Millions of Americans have been prescribed Plavix based upon representations that it is safe and carries benefits over aspirn. 

Consumers rely on the skill, knowledge and judgment of drug manufacturers to warn of potential risks and side effects associated with medications. Contrary to promotional statements, Plavix is not safe for all of the purposes indicated by the makers. As a result of the failure to disclose the Plavix dangers, users were deprived of information necessary to weigh the benefits of the medication against the risks.

PLAVIX CLASS ACTION SUITS

Plavix has become the second best selling drug in the world, generating over $6.3 billion in annual sales.  Plavix sells for approximately $4 per pill, compared with pennies apiece for the safer alternative, Aspirin. Since it has been established that Plavix has no significant benefit over Aspirin, Plavix class action suits as well as individual lawsuits have been filed throughout the country.

Plavix lawsuits allege:

  • Plavix is defective in its design and formulation
  • Safer alternatives to Plavix are available
  • Plavix is unreasonably fit, suitable or safe for the promoted uses
  • Potential for Plavix side effects outweigh the benefits associated with the drug
