KETEK CLASS ACTION SUITS
Ketek (telithromycin) is manufactured and sold by Sanofi-Adventis. It is a new antibiotic which was approved in 2004 for treatment of respiratory tract infections, sinusitis, pneumonia and bronchitis. There have been recent findings of fraud during the clinical trials used to gain FDA approval. Given the safety concerns, many experts have questioned whether the medication should have ever been sold.
The manufacturer was aware of the increased risk of liver damage associated with ketek at the time they introduced the medication. However, it was not until reports of liver failure and death began to surface that they added a Keteck liver damage warning. A recent FDA committee has recommended that the manufacturer not be allowed to market the antibiotic for sinusitis or bronchitis and that a stronger "black box" warning be required by the FDA.
