Lupron Lawsuits

Lupron is a man-made protein that is given in an injection format to those who are suffering from endometriosis, fibroids, early puberty in children as well as to lessen the symptoms of some cancers. The product, made by Abbott Pharmaceutical has been approved by the FDA, beginning in 1985 where it was used to treat advanced cases of prostate cancer.

Since then, there have been a number of Lupron lawsuits because of the various side effects that come with it and because there have been a number of questionable activities by the pharmaceutical companies to mask the harmful effects of Lupron. The warnings that are placed on the bottle are not entirely indicative of what a person can experience, which is very misleading.

Lupron is primarily used these days to treat endometriosis, a problem that over 7 million American women are faced with each year. The hormone that is injected creates menopause that is drug-induced and will shrink any lesions as a result of the estrogen output. It is not to be used on pregnant women and it can be stopped at any time so that women can try to have children in the future.

The use of Lupron can lead to:

- Changes in vision

- Chest pain

- Memory disorders

- Severe headaches

- Birth defects

- Cardiac arrhythmias

Symptoms include:

- Breathing problems

- Pain in leg or groin area

- Vomiting

- Hot flashes

- Lot of appetite

- And many other symptoms

The side effects are plentiful, which is why many people choose to discontinue use of Lupron. When the symptoms have led to more serious problems, however, such as extreme fatigue, rapid weight loss, and other severe side effects, Lupron lawsuits have taken place as a means of getting the pharmaceutical companies to pay for the drugs’ effects that they aren’t disclosing to the general public. More than one class action suit has taken effect for Lupron because of the various effects that the drug has had on people, regardless of what it was used to treat.

Anyone who has taken Lupron and either stopped taking it because the side effects got to be too much or are currently on Lupron and experiencing unpleasant side effects may be eligible to participate in one of the class action Lupron lawsuits. This would allow for compensation for pain and suffering, disability, medical expenses, loss of earnings and much more.

Drugs are designed to help with the underlying problem, not add to the problem. If you find yourself regretting taking Lupron because you now have bigger problems, have had to lose work because of the severity of the side effects or anything else, you may be entitled to compensation from the pharmaceutical companies.
