Lafayette Proton Pump Inhibitor Lawyer

People suffering from chronic heartburn or acid reflux may turn to a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to gain relief. These drugs reduce the amount of stomach acid that a person produces to relieve various symptoms.

Unfortunately, taking proton pump inhibitors over a long period could come with serious health risks. People have reported a variety of serious conditions after taking these medications, including kidney disease, increased risk of fractures, and infections.

If the makers of these products did not properly disclose or investigate these side effects, a qualified attorney may be able to hold them liable for any resulting injuries. A proton pump inhibitor lawyer may be able to help victims investigate their injuries, determine if they are the result of taking a PPI, and hold the maker of that product responsible for their negligence.

Drug Manufacturers’ Duty of Care

Manufacturers of a product must produce items that are safe for their intended use. Additionally, these makers must warn consumers of potential side effects.

PPIs have several common side effects, including headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation. These are typically minor and go away over time. However, recent lawsuits allege that the makers of PPIs hid more serious dangers associated with long-term use.

Many plaintiffs state that they suffer from kidney failure, infections, increased rate of broken bones, and vitamin deficiencies linked to their long-term use of PPIs. An attorney could help build a case that the makers of proton pump inhibitors hid their knowledge of these potential problems or did not discover them due to improper testing resulting in injury. You can speak with a Lafayette personal injury lawyer to help you pursue compensation.

Mass Tort Against Proton Pump Inhibitors

Pursuing a civil claim of any kind is often a lengthy and complex process, especially when claims are against a large corporation such as a drug company. It can be intimidating for one person to pursue a case against a pharmaceutical giant’s massive legal departments.

Thankfully, federal laws provide means through which plaintiffs may unite to increase their power. One option is to petition a court to certify a claim as a mass tort. In order to do so, the plaintiffs must be able to satisfy the elements under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 23, which are:

  • Multiple plaintiffs suffered an injury because of a common defendant
  • The facts of the plaintiffs’ cases are substantially similar
  • A traditional joinder of the claims would be impracticable

Mass torts can be very useful, as they allow every plaintiff to claim individual damages while also sharing resources. For example, an expert may provide a report that explains how a company’s testing fell below industry standards that may be shared across all claims. A proton pump inhibitor lawyer could help determine if a mass tort is an option.

Call a Proton Pump Inhibitor Attorney for Help

Proton pump inhibitors are commonly used to treat chronic acid reflux or heartburn. The packaging of these drugs should—and usually does—contain stated side effects of headaches, digestive issues, and fever.

However, it is also possible that there is a link between these substances and more serious conditions. Patients have reported kidney failure, decreased bone density, and vitamin deficiencies linked to their long-term use of PPI drugs.

The makers of these drugs must disclose all known side effects. If they took steps deliberately to hide these potential problems, you could have a strong case for financial compensation. Contact a proton pump inhibitor lawyer today to schedule a consultation.
