Prilosec Lawsuits
File a Prilosec Lawsuit for Kidney Injury or Kidney
Persons and family members of persons who have suffered from Prilosec kidney disease, kidney failure, or another serious side effects may file Prilosec lawsuits against the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. Believing the drug to be safe and unaware of any potential danger or kidney damage risk, millions of Americans take Prilosec and similar proton pump inhibitors each year to treat heartburn and acid reflux.
Prilosec was approved in 1989 for using in treating dyspepsia, peptic ulcers, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Over the decades, as a result of aggressive drug company advertising and a lack of knowledge about Prilosec risks, this and other PPIs have been applied to many other, less serious ailments such as heartburn.
Prilosec poses serious and life threatening risks and should ONLY be used to remedy serious health problems and only for a short time. One researcher suggests that as many as 70% of patients taking PPIs do not have a verified indication for the drug. Many, many Americans have taken Prilosec, completely unaware the drug would increase their risk for acute kidney injuries and chronic kidney disease.
Over the past decade, several FDA Prilosec warnings have been issued. In each case, the drug maker, AstraZeneca, has only added warning information to the drug label when required to do so. Prilosec brought AstraZeneca $340 million in profits in 2015.
Prilosec is in wide use in the United States. Now doctors and consumers realize Prilosec poses serious and even fatal risks. Plaintiffs are filing Prilosec lawsuits on the basis of new information regarding the Prilosec chronic kidney disease risk.
