Duract Liver Damage

In 1997, Duract was approved as a painkiller and in less than a year the drug was recalled as reports of death, liver failure, and liver damage were made. Although Duract was approved for short-term use only, patients were un-aware of the serious risks that increased with longer use of the medication, such as liver damage. When the FDA announced Duract was being recalled there had been four reports of death, eight patients requiring liver transplants, and 12 patients suffering serious instances of liver damage.

The liver damage would appear while patients were taking Duract or within days of discontinuing the use of Duract. Common liver damage symptoms can include very dark urine, yellowing of skin and whites of the eyes, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and other symptoms.
