Sinus Drug Ketek
Claims and Liver Failure Claims
Evidence has recently linked
the sinus drug Ketek (telithromycin) with fatal drug reactions
caused by liver failure and respiratory problems as well
as serious adverse drug reactions causing liver failure and
the need for a liver transplant.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has taken action to
limit distribution of Ketek, but Ketek is still available
and many consumers, doctors, and patients may not realize the dangers that Ketek
poses.
If you have been taking Ketek and have suffered
severe liver problems including liver failure requiring a liver transplant
or have lost a loved one that was taking Ketek from liver
failure,
please feel free to e-mail Texas

Ketek Related Health Problems can include Liver
Failure
Ketek is a drug that was designed to
clear up sinus infections, but it unfortunately can have a
devastating effect on the liver causing death, liver
failure, breathing problems, nerve problems, or liver
damage. People taking Ketek have described
experiencing chills, trouble walking, dizziness, leg pain,
fevers, jaundice, blurred vision, loss of
consciousness, neurological problems, worsening of breathing
problems, and vomiting blood. These symptoms can
last for several weeks and can end in complete liver failure resulting in
death.
If you have been taking Ketek and have experienced these
severe health problems or drug-induced hepatitis seek
immediate medical treatment. Inform your medical
providers that you have been taking Ketek. Sometimes
ceasing taking Ketek is enough for the body to start to
recover, other times a liver transplant is necessary as
Ketek may cause severe liver damage including necrosis.
Since the Food and Drug Administration has learned of the risks
caused by Ketek, the drug has
been withdrawn for the treatment of sinus infections, but
Ketek is
still available to patients who have a certain type of
pneumonia. The manufacturer of Ketek and the FDA have been criticized for the
safety trials commissioned regarding Ketek as well as the
approval process. Criticisms of
Sanofi-Aventis and the FDA include fraud, malpractice, conflicts of
interest, falsified results, and
hiding problems in the approval process.
If you are taking Ketek and develop symptoms of of liver
problems, it is important that you contact a health care
provider immediately to discuss whether
you should continue taking the drug. Signs of liver problems
include loss of appetite, nausea, dark urine, pale stools,
jaundice, and itching or abdominal pain.
If you have lost a person that you love
from liver failure that you think was caused by Ketek or
you believe that you have suffered serious liver damage from
Ketek and need a Texas Liver Failure Lawyer to investigate a
