Zelnorm Lawsuit
Zelnorm is considered a good prospect for a product liability lawsuit because of the manufacturer’s continuous dismissal of adverse reaction among patients to use of the product. Since the drug was recalled in March of 2007 several Zelnorm lawsuits have been filed and others are pending.
The drug was approved for use for women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in 2002. A short time later, in 2004, the FDA insisted that Zelnorm’s manufacturer expand their list of potential side effects distributed with every Zelnorm package to include ischemic colitis. This disease is in effect a severe IBS attack caused by a shortage of blood flow to the intestines. A mere two years between product introduction and expansion of the side effect warnings is one of the reasons that there are Zelnorm lawsuits pending today.
Prior to the recall three years later, evidence began to develop that some patients using Zelnorm may suffer higher incidence of cardiovascular problems than the IBS victims who do not use the drug. Most cardiovascular incidents – strokes, heart attacks and angina – are the result of restricted blood flow to or through the heart. The parallel cause of both the cardiac difficulties and ischemic colitis – restricted blood flow – is not lost on those individuals who are seeking legal recourse by filing a Zelnorm lawsuit.
In general, a medication that gets through its mandated clinical trials and lasts five years on the market may be considered to have some basic flaws. Whether those flaws can be identified without doubt will be the issue in forthcoming Zelnorm lawsuits. If you have experienced any of these side effects, we will have someone help you determine whether you are eligible to file a claim at no charge.
