Side Effects of Tasigna Cancer Drug Include Atherosclerosis and Peripheral Artery Disease

Physical signs to look for it you suspect you have developed atherosclerosis or peripheral arterial disease

Friday, September 15, 2017 - If you have Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and have been treated with the drug Tasigna, chances are you will develop atherosclerosis, a thickening and hardening of the arteries leading to the arms, legs and vital internal organs like the brain and heart and your life could be in danger. Studies indicate that a person receiving Tasigna treatments is roughly five times more likely to develop peripheral artery disease than cancer patients receiving other types of chemotherapy treatments. As a result, you may qualify to seek real monetary compensation by suing the maker of Tasigna, pharmaceutical giant Novartis AG.

Chemotherapy drug Tasigna is now linked with cases of atherosclerosis, amputation, and sudden death as well as paralysis from strokes. Tasigna causes atherosclerosis which lessens the circulation of vital, oxygen-rich blood and can cause necrosis and tissue death requiring amputation. Other health complications from Tasigna include heart attack and strokes.

Another potentially deadly side effects of Tasigna is peripheral artery disease (PAD). Physical signs to look for that could indicate PAD are muscle cramps when walking or walking up stairs, abnormal lesions on your on your legs and feet that do not heal normally, blackening of the toes caused by tissue death (necrosis), thick ugly yellow toenail discoloration, and men may experience erectile dysfunction. Coldness, tingling, and numbness in the legs and feet are other signs of PAD.

If you are experiencing chest pain or tightness, or shortness of breath, you may have developed coronary artery disease that could lead to heart failure or heart attack.

People suffering from atherosclerosis and PAD are suing Novartis alleging that the company knew of the deadly risks of Tasigna yet did nothing to warn the American Cancer medical community. As a result, thousands of patients were given Tasigna and many are now developing the symptoms of, and many have died from heart disease, heart attack, and strokes. Tasigna patients have also had to have limbs amputated.
