ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI DRUG INJURY LAWYERS

Our parents, children, and loved ones take medications to feel better. But some of our country’s most popular drugs have been subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration safety warnings for serious, sometimes fatal, side effects. At Cofman Townsley, we understand that drug injuries can impact your life. Our Missouri and Southern Illinois drug injury lawyers are here to hold pharmaceutical companies that put profits over people accountable for their negligence.

Drug Injury Claims We Handle

Our drug injury lawyers handle a variety of claims, including those for:

  • Beovu

    Beovu is supposed to treat wet age-related macular degeneration. However, the American Society of Retina Specialists has discovered that Beovu may instead cause blindness in some patients.

  • Heartburn Drugs Linked to Kidney Disease

    Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), a class of prescription heartburn drugs, are used to reduce acid in a patient’s stomach. But many of the most popular PPIs have been linked to serious health risks, including chronic kidney disease.

  • HIV and STD Prevention Drugs

    PrEP drugs, including Truvada®, Atripla®, Viread®, Stribild®, and Complera®, help prevent HIV in patients at high risk of HIV and other STDs. However, people who take these medications may be at risk of serious and harmful side effects including kidney disease and bone density loss. When drug companies don’t warn users of the health risks their products can cause, they should be held responsible.

  • Onglyza

    An FDA advisory committee concluded taking the prescription Type 2 diabetes drug Onglyza® (saxagliptin) can increase the risk of heart failure—a fatal condition.

  • Provigil® & Nuvigil®

    In Canada and Europe, Teva Pharmaceuticals warned healthcare providers that Provigil could cause birth defects, prompting doctors to stop prescribing the medication to pregnant women.

  • Tylenol Child Autism

    For years, expecting mothers have relied on Tylenol (acetaminophen) to relieve pain. Studies now suggest that there’s a strong link between a fetus’s exposure to acetaminophen and an increased likelihood of autism.

  • Weight Loss Drugs

    Mainstream and social media coverage have created a surge in the usage of injectable type 2 diabetes medications, such as Ozempic and Rybelsus, for weight loss purposes. While these glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists were originally formulated to assist type 2 diabetes patients in regulating their blood sugar levels, they have recently emerged as effective tools for weight reduction. This unforeseen benefit has led medical practitioners to prescribe them off-label for weight loss, alongside another GLP-1 agonist named Wegovy, which is designed and prescribed exclusively for weight loss.

  • Xeljanz®

    Did you or a loved one develop blood clots in your lungs after taking Xeljanz®? If so, you may be eligible for compensation, and we want to help you get it.

  • Zofran®

    Zofran® is sometimes prescribed to pregnant women to treat symptoms of severe morning sickness. But new data suggests that babies born to women who take the drug may face an increased risk of certain birth defects.
