Ketek caused liver injury and failure

In January 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a public health advisory on the widely prescribed antibiotic Ketek. According to the advisory, the agency had received several reports of liver failure and death associated with the use of the drug. An FDA memo released several months later in May confirmed a total of 23 cases of Ketek-related liver injury, 12 cases of liver failure, 44 instances of less severe liver injury, and four deaths. Agency officials subsequently concluded that there is a clear link between the drug and the risk of liver injury and failure.

If you or a loved one has suffered liver damage or other severe Ketek side effect, you should understand that you have legal rights and options. Please contact us today for a FREE consultation with an experienced attorney who can answer your questions and ensure your rights are protected.
