The pharmaceutical industry is powerful. Though they manufacture drugs that may help patients, they are also concerned about the bottom line. As a result, some drugs make it through the pipeline before testing has been completed, or with side effects and health risks minimized or ignored. Drugs that have been aggressively marketed in this way are often the center of recalls, but for some patients, these recalls come too late. Dangerous health issues such as heart attacks, strokes, kidney and liver damage, diabetes, and even suicide may be the result of taking a defective pharmaceutical. Recent FDA recalls, or black box warnings – the strongest warning given before a recall is put into effect – have affected many drugs for many different conditions. If you or a loved one has been injured or sickened by taking something meant to help, please contact the drug lawsuit attorneys at Taylor Martino.
Amidst concerns announced by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that the medication is possibly linked to an increased occurrence of cancer, in early 2020 Belviq (lorcaserin) was voluntarily recalled from the US market by its’ maker Eisai Inc. The decision came after the analysis of results retrieved from a long-term study conducted after Belviq hit the market, in order to determine the cardiovascular effects of the drug.
What the study revealed was that patients taking Belviq were more likely to develop cancer over the course of five years, than participants taking a placebo. Certain types of cancer, including pancreatic, colorectal and lung cancers, were more commonly diagnosed in Belviq-users. Patients and their families who developed cancer after taking Belviq, are now suing the drug’s manufacturer for failing to adequately warn consumers of the drug’s safety risks.
The law firm of Taylor Martino is actively evaluating personal injury, cancer, and wrongful death cases caused by the use of Belviq. We intend to hold the drug makers accountable for allegedly concealing the Belviq cancer link and putting profit before people. An experienced attorney can help evaluate your case and assess your specific damages to get you the maximum compensation you need for your recovery and for your family. Find Out If You Qualify >>
Depo-Provera is a contraceptive injection containing medroxyprogesterone acetate, a synthetic progestogen, designed to provide long-term pregnancy prevention. Administered every three months, it works by halting ovulation, thickening cervical mucus to block sperm, and thinning the uterine lining. While highly effective as a contraceptive, recent studies have linked Depo-Provera to an increased risk of intracranial meningiomas, serious tumors that develop in the tissues covering the brain and spinal cord.
Although most meningiomas are benign, they can grow large enough to cause severe neurological symptoms, including seizures, vision impairment, and speech difficulties, and may require invasive surgical removal. Women using Depo-Provera should be aware of this elevated risk and monitor for potential symptoms.
If you or a loved one developed meningioma or other serious health issues after using Depo-Provera, you may be entitled to compensation. Our experienced legal team is here to help you navigate your claim, hold manufacturers accountable, and secure the justice you deserve. Find Out If You Qualify >>

Were you treated with Elmiron for interstitial cystitis or urinary tract infections (UTIs)?
If you have been diagnosed with vision problems related to the retina or macula, such as macular degeneration or pigmentary maculopathy, it could be due to long-term treatment with Elmiron.
Elmiron, a medication used to treat bladder conditions, may be associated with a rare eye condition called pigmentary maculopathy, a type of macular degeneration. According to recent scientific reports, this rare macular degeneration can occur after prolonged Elmiron treatment.
The symptoms associated with pigmentary maculopathy include:
If you were diagnosed with a vision condition caused by Elmiron, your doctor may not have been aware that Elmiron was a possible cause. The studies linking the drug to retina and macula-related vision problems are just beginning to surface and your treatment may need to be re-evaluated.
Valsartan has been gaining attention since late 2018, due to the link between the generic drug meant to treat blood pressure and an increased risk of cancer and liver damage. In addition to treating blood pressure, valsartan, classified as an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), is used to treat heart failure. It can also help to improve a person’s chances of survival after a heart attack.
Valsartan works by blocking the action of certain natural substances in the body called angiotensin II receptors that narrow or tighten the blood vessels. By stopping this action, the heart can pump blood more efficiently and easily throughout the body.
People who filed valsartan lawsuits allege they “developed cancer as a result of using valsartan containing
NDMA or NDEA impurities. NDMA and NDEA are classified as “probable human carcinogens,” meaning
there is a likelihood they can cause cancer in humans, especially at high levels of exposure. The FDA
noted that the amounts of the chemical substances found in contaminated batches of valsartan exceeded
acceptable daily limits for human consumption.
The law firm of Taylor Martino is actively evaluating personal injury and wrongful death cases resulting from valsartan use. We intend to hold the drug makers accountable for allegedly concealing valsartan’s link to cancer and other possible injuries. Drug manufacturers must be held responsible when they willfully put profit before people thereby harming those who are trusting them to be considerate of their health and wellbeing.
