Zelnorm Lawsuit

The New Jersey-based pharmaceutical giant Novartis Pharmaceuticals voluntarily discontinued marketing Zelnorm in the United States after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requested the company to pull the drug from the market in April 2007. The recall was based on data showing a link between Zelnorm use and higher risks of adverse events such as heart attack, chest pain, and stroke . Individuals who have suffered such events after being treated with Zelnorm may be able to obtain a legal remedy by filing a Zelnorm lawsuit.

Why File A Zelnorm Lawsuit?

Companies that manufacture and provide drugs to the public have an obligation to make sure that the drugs are safe and effective. If the companies do not meet that obligation, they may be held legally responsible for injuries caused by their drugs. Novartis is a pharmaceutical leader, and its IBS drug Zelnorm appears to present some very serious risks to patients including:

  • Heart attack
  • Heart murmur or arrhythmia
  • Unstable angina
  • Stroke or other ischemic event
  • Severe diarrhea (often with fainting, low blood pressure, and decreased blood plasma volume)
  • Intestinal inflammation

Deaths due to several of the above conditions following Zelnorm use have also been reported. If you or a loved one has experienced any of these conditions due to Zelnorm treatment, you may be able to obtain compensation for losses you have incurred by filing a Zelnorm lawsuit. Recoverable damages often include pain and suffering, mental anguish, medical costs, lost wages, loss of enjoyment of life, and more.
