What Is Aranesp?

Aranesp belongs to a class of drugs known as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents, or ESAs, and is used to treat anemia in patients with HIV, cancer, and chronic kidney failure. In March 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that a “black box” warning would be added to Aranesp and two other ESAs— Procrit and Epogen —alerting doctors and consumers to the increased risk of death, heart attack, heart failure, and stroke.

If you or someone you love has suffered an adverse reaction as a result of taking Aranesp or other ESA, you may be eligible to take legal action to recover your financial and other losses. Please contact us today to speak with an experienced product liability attorney at no charge and learn more about the legal remedies available to you.

Aranesp Dangers

A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that Aranesp and other ESAs increase the risk of:

  • Blood clots, heart attack, and death in kidney failure patients treated with higher than recommended doses
  • Death in cancer patients not undergoing chemotherapy but receiving normal doses
  • Blood clots in post-orthopedic surgery patients
  • Cancer progression in patients with head and neck cancers being treated with high doses

The new heightened warning urges doctors to prescribe the lowest possible dose to avoid potentially fatal side effects and also prevent the need for blood transfusions. Patients who are taking Aranesp, Epogen, or Procrit and experiencing any unusual symptoms should consult with a physician immediately.

Individuals who suffer injury as a result of a defective or dangerous drug have legal rights—including the right to seek damages from drug makers and/or other responsible parties. By filing a product liability lawsuit, a person may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, pain and anguish, lost wages, loss of companionship, and more.

If you or someone you love has suffered injury because of Aranesp, you should contact a qualified attorney as soon as possible to learn more about your legal rights and options. For a FREE consultation with a respected and proven product liability attorney near you, please contact us today.
