Overview of Anemia Drugs: Dangerous Drug Claim

Blog Post by Barry G. Doyle

If you have taken anemia drugs to treat kidney disease and have developed heart problems, you may be entitled to file a dangerous drug claim. A Chicago product liability attorney will take the time to evaluate your case and provide you with information about all the legal options that may be available.With the help of a Chicago product liability attorney who understands the complexities of dangerous drug claims, you may be able to hold the manufacturer liable for your injuries and seek damages for your injuries and lost wages.While anemia drugs are used to treat individuals who are anemic, they are also used to help treat kidney disease.

Unfortunately, anemia drugs have also been linked to heart problems, stroke, blood clots and even death.  The most common types of anemia drugs that are used to treat kidney disease and have been found to increase the risk of heart problems are Procrit, Epogen and Aranesp. These are brand names for darbepoetin and epoetin alfa injections used in the treatment of chronic kidney disease.These particular anemia drugs could lead to a blood clot in the vascular access, the part of the body where blood is removed and returned during dialysis. Additionally, these anemia drugs could also cause tumors in cancer patients to grow or return. They may also lead to cancer death.When anemia drugs cause a serious illness or health condition, like heart problems, a dangerous drug claim may be filed. A Chicago product liability attorney will work on your behalf to help protect your legal rights.
