Houston Tasigna Drug Attorneys
Tasigna (nilotinib) is an FDA-approved targeted therapy medicine used to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). It works by inhibiting BCR-ABL proteins which play an integral role in driving CML cell growth and proliferation. Recently, however, concerns have been voiced regarding Tasigna’s safety. In 2011, the FDA issued a warning about liver damage associated with Tasigna use. Later in 2015, they issued another one about bone marrow suppression risks caused by using Tasigna; and finally, in 2017 issued another concerning birth defect risks linked to taking Tasigna.
If you are taking Tasigna, it is vital that you familiarize yourself with the risks and side effects and discuss them with your physician. In particular, be mindful of any signs or symptoms such as liver damage, bone marrow suppression, or birth defects which might need immediate medical intervention – in such an instance, seek immediate attention immediately!
If Tasigna has caused you harm, filing a claim against its manufacturer might be your only recourse to seeking justice and recovering your losses. A number of lawsuits have already been brought against Tasigna makers, with some plaintiffs successfully receiving compensation as a result. So ensure you consult an experienced attorney.
