Side Effects of Anemia Drugs

You may be eligible to file a dangerous drug claim if you have taken anemia drugs to treat your chronic kidney disease but that treatment resulted in additional medical complications, such as heart problems. A Chicago product liability attorney can evaluate your case to help you determine your next steps.

Procrit, Epogen and Aranesp are common anemia drugs that have been linked to an increased risk for cardiovascular problems. Side effects of these anemia drugs may indicate that a stroke, blood clot or other heart problem has developed.

Some of the serious side effects associated with anemia drugs include: 

• breathing/swallowing difficulties;
• swelling;
• infection;
• rash/itching/hives;
• dry mouth/hoarseness;
• paleness;
• decreased urination;
• wheezing;
• chills;
• sunken eyes; and
• lack of energy.  

Individuals who take anemia drugs and experience those side effects should seek immediate medical attention. If it is determined that an individual has suffered further complications, damages may be recovered through a dangerous drug claim.

A Chicago product liability attorney can provide you with an explanation of your legal options if anemia drugs have caused a serious illness.
