 Wrongful Death | Personal Injury | Medical Malpractice | Auto Accident Injuries | Motorcycle Accidents | Slip & Fall Dog Bites | Defective Products | Prescription Errors | Social Security Disability | Nursing Home / ALF Practice Areas: Tens of thousands of Americans die each year due to side-effects from using prescription drugs. While the FDA is charged with studying prescription drug side-effects before allowing the same to be placed on the market, there are increasing concerns that the FDA is bowing to pressure from large pharmaceutical companies to allow questionable drugs to remain on the market. At Brennan & Kavouklis, P.A., we are committed to assisting persons who have been harmed due to the use of prescription drugs. We can assist prescription drug users in having their potential claims investigated to see whether they have a viable claim related to the use of a particular drug. We are handling cases involving the following drugs and medical devices: BAYCOL - BAYCOL is a cholesterol-lowering
medication that was initially approved by the FDA in 1997. BAYCOL
was prescribed to reduce cholesterol and to reduce the risk of
heart disease. Health problems which have been attributed to
BAYCOL usage include death, kidney failure, liver injury, and
a rare disease called rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis can cause
severe muscle pain, most frequently in the lower back and calves.
It can also lead to fatal kidney failure and other organ damage.
Other symptoms of rhabdomyolysis include muscle pain, weakness,
tenderness, fever, dark urine, nausea, and vomiting. If you have
formerly used BAYCOL and you experienced any of these symptoms
in proximity to the use of this drug, please call us at 813-254-7770
for assistance with an investigation into your rights to pursue
a claim. You can also contact us by e-mail MERIDIA - Our law firm is still
investigating claims on behalf of the users of this popular diet
drug manufactured by Abbott Laboratories. Because of reported
cases of heart damage related to the use of this drug, the consumer
advocacy group Public Citizen has been lobbying the FDA to withdraw
MERIDIA from the market. If you were a MERIDIA user and you would
like assistance with an investigation into whether you have a
viable claim, please call us at 813-254-7770, or contact us by
e-mail SERZONE - SERZONE is an anti-depressant that has been linked to liver failure. According to the manufacturer, the rate of liver failure associated with SERZONE use is about three to four times greater than that for non-users. Bristol-Myers, the maker of SERZONE,
issued a manufacturer's warning on January 9, 2002 telling healthcare
providers that "cases of life-threatening hepatic failure
have been reported in patients treated with SERZONE." On
December 7, 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration told
Bristol-Myers that it must include "black box" warnings
on all SERZONE labels. The FDA now requires that SERZONE package
labels include warnings that "cases of life-threatening
hepatic failure have been reported in patients treated with SERZONE."
If you have used SERZONE and feel you might have a liver injury
or ailment caused by the use of this drug, please call us at
813-254-7770, if you would like us to help you investigate your
potential claim for damages. You can also contact us by e-mail If you are interested in receiving
