“Vaginal Mesh” lawsuits

admin — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:24:34 +0000

Some women who received transvaginal mesh/sling products (also called pelvic mesh or vaginal mesh) have suffered from serious complications. From 2005 to 2010, there have been nearly 4,000 injuries reported to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) following the placement of a transvaginal mesh device.

A transvaginal mesh patch is a surgically implanted device that stretches across the vaginal wall to add extra support to damaged tissues. By adding strength to damaged vaginal walls, the vaginal mesh patches can be effective treatment for a number of conditions that may occur after childbirth and pregnancy. The conditions they are normally designed to correct include pelvic organ prolapse (POP) – a condition in which organs of the lower abdominal region slip out of place – and stress urinary incontinence, which is characterized by the inability to control urination. Unfortunately, the failure of these products can lead to the need for multiple operations to remove the mesh and to repair extensive damage caused by the products.

If you or a loved one have a transvaginal mesh patch and subsequently suffered any of the following problems you could have a substantial claim:

Chronic vaginal drainage
Erosion of the vaginal tissue
Feeling as though something is protruding from the vagina
Lower back pain
Pain during intercourse
Perforations of the bowel, bladder or blood vessels
Pressure or feeling of “fullness” in the lower abdomen
Reoccurrence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI)
Urinary problems
Vaginal bleeding
Vaginal infections
Vaginal pain not related to intercourse
Vaginal scarring

Actos – “Bladder Cancer” Problems

admin — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 05:56:00 +0000

Actos (pioglitazone) is a medication manufactured and sold for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes. The drug is part of the same class of medications as Avandia, which has been linked to an increased risk of heart problems. As a result of concerns about Avandia side effects, sales of Actos have grown substantially in recent years.

New research suggests that users of Actos may face an increased risk of bladder cancer. The potential risk of Actos cancer problems is now being reviewed by health regulators in the United States and other countries throughout the world. It appears that the manufacturer of Actos may have known for some time about the cancer risks.

If you or a loved one was on “Actos” and have now been diagnosed with “bladder cancer” you or your loved one may have a substantial claim!

Fosamax – femur fractures

admin — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 23:57:27 +0000

Fosamax is a drug that is used to treat osteoporosis in men and women. Since being introduced in late 1995, Fosamax is the most extensively used oral bisphosphonate, taken by more than 20 million people. However, there are dangers associated with Fosamax, resulting in numerous Fosamax lawsuits against the manufacturer of the drug. In October 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced bisphosphonate drugs would need to change their labels to specify the risks Fosamax may pose to patients taking bisphosphonates to treat osteoporosis. The label change will reflect the risk of femur fractures or breaks occurring to those using bisphosphonates.

The kinds of leg fractures that have been linked to bisphosphonate use, including Fosamax, are unusual femur fractures, the large bone in the upper leg.

Fosamax has also been linked to many serious and often severe side effects, including esophageal cancer; inflammation of the throat, stomach and esophagus; and bone, joint, and muscle pain. As early as 2001, Fosamax was also linked to osteonecrosis of the jaw, or ONJ. It is also referred to as “dead jaw syndrome.” Dentists and oral surgeons noticed during a patient’s dental work a correlation between teeth and jaw decay, as well as jaw bone loss with bisphosphonate use. (See separate link to Fosamax and ONJ).

Solberg, Stewart, Miller and Tjon are investigating possible Fosamax “femur fracture” injury lawsuits in Fargo, North Dakota and Minnesota. If the Solberg law firm takes your case, you pay nothing unless you make a recovery. If you were on Fosamax and suffered a femur fracture or ONJ, you may have a substantial claim.

Depakote Birth Defects

admin — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 23:54:30 +0000

The US Food and Drug Administration, FDA, has required Abbott Laboratories, the manufacturer of Depakote to alert doctors and patients that Depakote can cause serious and life-threatening side effects, including birth defects. The Depakote side effects may include potentially fatal liver damage, birth defects, and serious pancreatitis. The “Boxed Warning” mandated by the FDA, is the strongest warning that the FDA can require a company to use in its drug labeling.

Birth defects associated with this increased risk include neural tube defects such as spina bifida, craniofacial defects, cardiovascular malformations, and malformations involving other parts of the body. Neural tube defects, including spina bifida, occur when the developing spinal column does not close properly, leaving the brain and or spinal cord exposed at birth.

Depakote, or divalproex sodium, is a compound made up of sodium valproate and valproic acid. The product is available as a tablet, solution, injectable, capsule, and long acting formulation. Depakote is prescribed for the treatment of manic episodes associated with bi-polar disorders, seizure disorders, and migraine headaches. The various formulations are marketed as Depacon, Depakote, Depakote CP, Depakote ER, Depakene, and Stavzor.

If you took Depakote during pregnancy and your child was born with a birth defect, you and your child may have a “significant claim”. Solberg, Stewart, Miller and Tjon are investigating possible Depakote injury lawsuits in Fargo, North Dakota and Minnesota. If the Solberg law firm takes your case, you pay nothing unless you make a recovery. Call 237.3166 (Fargo) or 1.877.237.3166 (toll free) or email mmiller@solberglaw.com.

Avastin Lawsuits – breast cancer drug

admin — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 23:47:15 +0000

Avastin is an anti-cancer drug used in combination with chemotherapy. Avastin chemotherapy inhibits tumor growth by preventing the formation of new blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients and allow the tumors to grow. In 2008 Avastin was approved as a treatment for breast cancer.

Unfortunately, four recent clinical studies showed that use of Avastin in women with breast cancer did not prolong overall survival rates nor provide a sufficient benefit in slowing the progression of the disease. The studies concluded that the risks of Avastin treatment for breast cancer outweigh the benefits. Those risks include:

severe high blood pressure,
bleeding and hemorrhage,
development of perforations in the nose, stomach and intestines, and
heart attack or heart failure

Avastin lawsuits are now calling for the maker of Avastin to stop marketing Avastin treatment for advanced breast cancer. In December, 2010, the FDA notified healthcare professionals and patients that it is recommending the removal of the breast cancer indication for Avastin because the drug has not been shown to be safe and effective for that use.

Solberg, Stewart, Miller and Tjon are investigating possible Avastin injury lawsuits in Fargo, North Dakota and Minnesota. If the Solberg law firm takes your case, you pay nothing unless you make a recovery. If you were on Avastin and developed severe high blood pressure, bleeding and hemorrhage, perforations in your nose, stomach or intestines or had a heart attack, you may have a substantial claim. Call 237.3166 (Fargo) or 1.877.237.3166 (toll free) or email mmiller@solberglaw.com.

Tylenol – liver damage

admin — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 02:31:22 +0000

Tylenol is one of the most widely used over-the-counter (OTC) pain-relievers in the U.S. Unfortunately, Tylenol (acetaminophen) may cause liver damage, liver failure or even death! While generally safe in short-term use, chronic use of the drug, taking the drug at higher than recommended dosage or usage among those who drink excessive alcohol or have kidney disease can all have serious side effects such as liver failure.

A study in the July 5, 2006 Journal of the American Medical Association revealed that Tylenol may hurt the liver even at the recommended doses. In the clinical study, the highest recommended dose of Extra Strength Tylenol in healthy adults sharply increased liver enzymes, which is an early sign of possible organ damage.

Because OTC drugs, like Tylenol, do not require a prescription, many consumers mistakenly believe that these medications are completely safe.

If you or someone you love has been “diagnosed” with liver damage, liver failure or has died while taking Tylenol or acetaminophen, there may be a substantial claim against the drug manufacturer.

Protect your rights, call Mike Miller at 1.877.237.3166 (toll free) or 237.3166 (Fargo) or email Mike at mmiller@solberglaw.com. Initial consultations are free. If we take your case you pay nothing unless and until there is a recovery.

Darvon and Darvocet

admin — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 21:27:18 +0000

Darvon and Darvocet are “painkillers” used to treat mild to moderate pain. Prompted by the FDA’s receipt of new clinical data showing that the use of Darvon and Darvocet puts patients at risk of potentially serious or even fatal heart rhythm abnormalities, the makers of Darvon and Darvocet have agreed to withdraw the drugs from the U.S. market. The withdrawal may be too late for many people and lawsuits against the drug makers are being brought throughout the country, including Darvon and Darvocet lawsuits in North Dakota and Minnesota, which may be brought soon.

If you or a loved one suffered serious heart rythym abnormalities that required medical treatment, you may a have a significant claim against the manufacturers of the drugs.
