Lotronex Class Action

The Lotronex recall after nine months on the market soon developed into Lotronex class action lawsuits. Lotronex was prescribed to females with irritable bowel syndrome, but the drug was linked to dangerous and deadly effects. Reports of intestinal damage resulting from ischemic colitis, severely obstructed or ruptured bowels, and death occurred because of Lotronex use, launching various Lotronex class actions.

Now Lotronex has once again entered the market on a restricted marketing basis just for severe diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. Lotronex class action lawsuits emerged because of the deadly and serious Lotronex side effects. When the Lotronex recall occurred, the FDA stated the recall was until it could be determined how to best manage the risks of the drug. Now certain measures have been put into place that will, according to the FDA, help Lotronex patients better understand the risks of the drug. There had been at least 8 deaths and 124 hospitalizations attributed to the use of Lotronex in the nine months the drug was on the market.
