Duract Liver Failure

After reports of serious and deadly side effects of liver failure, Duract was recalled in 1998. The Duract side effects included instances of liver failure that required transplants for some patients. At the time of the Duract recall the FDA had received reports of 8 patients requiring liver transplants because of Duract liver failure and 12 other patients had sustained serious cases of Duract liver damage. These liver failure reports were in addition to the four deaths occurring in Duract patients.

On the market for less than a year, Duract had a labeling change made about four months prior to the recall, warning patients of the serious adverse effects that can occur due to liver failure reports and other events. Many patients were unaware that if using Duract for more than ten days the risk of suffering deadly effects like liver failure was greatly increased.
