Lawsuits Against Novartis International AG Makers of Tasigna

Multi-billion-dollar Tasigna anti-cancer lawsuit against swiss pharmaceutical giant Novartis International AG

Wednesday, June 21, 2017 - If you or a loved one have been treated for cancer with the anti-cancer drug Nilotinib, marketed under the brand name "Tasigna," and are experiencing any of the deadly side effects of the drug, you may qualify to sue the drug's manufacturer, Swiss Pharmaceutical giant Novartis International AG for reimbursement of medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages you have suffered as a result of the company's negligence.

Novartis Settles with US Department of Justice

Novartis International AG recently settled a $390 million lawsuit brought against the company by the U.S. Department of Justice for illegally misbranding their multi-billion-dollar anti-cancer drug Tasigna and falsely touting the drug's effectiveness to cancer physicians as being superior to other similar, and safer anti-cancer drugs on the market. In 2016, Novartis earned over $1.6 billion dollars selling its deadly and poisonous drug and made no effort to warn consumers of the risks to their health if they used it in chemotherapy. As a result of Novartis' negligence, thousands of Americans have been sickened or killed by the side effects of taking Tasigna.

Our Tasigna Peripheral Artery Disease attorneys can help you to recover real monetary damages from Novartis that have resulted from the company's negligence in failing to warn American cancer doctors and patients in the United States of the risks of the drug that were known by the company well in advance. Doctors in Canada were warned as early as 2011 of the risks of Peripheral Artery Disease to their patients. Instead of warning US cancer doctors, Novartis stepped up their US Tasigna marketing efforts by sharing on Facebook exaggerated claims that the drug was more effective than others and financially incentivized doctors to use the drug as well.

About Peripheral Artery Disease

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) has been linked to the use of Tasigna in clinical research studies. Peripheral Artery Disease is caused by a thickening of the arterial walls and a build-up of fibrofatty plaque and excessive white blood cells. The result is a decrease in blood flow to the legs that can lead to necrosis and amputation. Plaque is formed by an excess of fat, cholesterol, and calcium in the blood. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the legs, head and internal organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys. Symptoms to look for regarding Peripheral Artery Disease starts with numbness, pain or discomfort in the leg. Leg pain can occur at any time but usually is the most severe after walking or climbing stairs. In addition to leg tissue necrosis requiring amputation, Peripheral Artery Disease can lead to coronary heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.
