Dangerous Drugs

New York Dangerous Drugs Attorney

Despite regulations that should prevent their proliferation, dangerous drugs continue to be made available and approved by the FDA. At Kramer & Dunleavy, LLP, we represent the victims of dangerous drugs and their families.

Our dangerous drugs attorneys can assist you with any of the following:

Birth control side effects: Users of the Ortho-Evra control patch were at a considerably greater risk of suffering a blood clot (pulmonary embolism) compared to women taking birth control pills.

Drugs to induce labor: Pitocin/Cytotec - These drugs accelerate labor and, if used improperly, can cause a ruptured uterus.

Pain killers: Vioxx - The prescription painkiller Vioxx (Rofecoxib) has been recalled from the marketplace after data from a clinical trial indicated that those taking Vioxx had double the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or sudden death as those taking a placebo. If you or your loved ones have used Vioxx and suffered a heart attack, stroke, or death, please call Kramer & Dunleavy today.

Drugs used in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): HRT drugs are known to cause breast cancer. They are:

Prempro
Premarin
Provera

If you or your loved ones have used any of these drugs and have or had breast cancer, please contact us at 1-877-WOMAN-LAW

Currently, we are representing many women who, without other risk factors, developed breast cancer after being prescribed a course of HRT, using the dangerous drugs Prempro or Premarin. We commenced the first action in New York State on Prempro.

Prempro has been linked to serious side effects including breast cancer, stroke, blood clots, and cardiovascular disease. These alarming side effects were discovered during a study by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute which is part of the National Institutes of Health. The study, originally planned to last eight years, ended after only five years when researchers determined the side effects were so severe they could not continue to give patients the drug.

According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute study, women that took Prempro were more likely to develop serious problems compared to those in the placebo group.

Women who took Prempro have a significantly higher chance of developing the following side effects:

26% increase in breast cancer
41% increase in strokes
100% increase in blood clots
22% increase in incidents of cardiovascular disease
