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.
