Chantix attorneys are personal injury lawyers who focus on building and winning cases for those injured after taking Chantix, a smoking cessation pill.

Since August 2008, Pfizer's Chantix has been used to help people quit smoking by preventing the brain from being able to experience pleasure from nicotine. Unfortunately, however, Chantix has also been reported to cause a variety of serious side effects, which can include:

  • Depression
  • Psychosis
  • Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), an inflammation of the mucous membranes that results in painful blisters (usually around the mouth, eyes and genitals)
  • Suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors
  • Toxic epidermal necrolysis syndrome (TENS), a more severe form of SJS in which swelling causes the outer layer of skin to separate from underlying layers, slowly die and be shed from the body.

Chantix patients who develop any of the above conditions should:

  • Seek immediate medical attention to prevent further complications and, in the worst cases, death.
  • Stop taking Chantix and find an alternative medication or method for smoking cessation.
  • Meet with a Chantix attorney, once their health is stable, to learn more about their legal rights and possible entitlement to compensation.

Reported Chantix Injuries

To date, the following Chantix side effects have been reported:

  • over 800 instances of depression and/or psychosis
  • nearly 500 cases of suicidal thoughts and/or behaviors
  • over 55 suicides

Given severity of possible Chantix complications, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) banned pilots and air traffic controllers from taking Chantix in May 2008. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also issued a national Chantix warning that:

  • Warned the public about the possibility of life-threatening side effects when taking Chantix
  • Mandated that Pfizer include stricter warning labels on Chantix's packaging.

As of yet, the FDA has not issued a Chantix recall that would take this medication off the market.

Meeting with a Chantix Attorney

During an initial consultation with a Chantix attorney, injured Chantix patients, as well as families of those who have died after taking Chantix, can:

  • Evaluate their case and find out if they are entitled to a settlement.
  • Learn about the process of building and winning a Chantix lawsuit.
  • Hear about settlements already won in cases similar to their own.
  • Determine whether they want to file an individual lawsuit or join an already-progressing class action case.

To encourage prospective plaintiffs to stand up for their legal rights, experienced Chantix attorneys provide these consultations for free and will work on contingency – so no payment for legal services will be necessary until (or unless) a settlement is won.

Have you or a loved one been harmed by Chantix? If so, contact us today to speak to an experienced lawyer who will thoroughly evaluate your case and fight to ensure you receive the compensation you need and deserve.
