Call a Nashville Actemra lawyer today if you suffered serious Actemra side effects, you may be eligible for an Actemra lawsuit
Roche’s Actemra was heralded as a breakthrough therapy for rheumatoid arthritis when it was introduced in 2010.
The drug’s website proclaims that “Actemra works differently” and shows a patient happily scuba diving and walking on a tropical beach. But nowhere does Roche mention certain side effects that may have contributed to more than 1,100 patient deaths. Research suggests that Actemra patients, compared to those taking competing rheumatoid arthritis drugs, face similar risks for heart attacks, heart failure, strokes, lung disease, and pancreatitis. But unlike the competition, Actemra’s label does not warn about these side effects. If you or a loved one suffered serious Actemra side effects including heart, lung, or pancreatic side effects while taking Actemra, contact Nashville Actemra lawyer Timothy L. Miles today for a free case evaluation to see if you are eligible for an Actemra lawsuit. If you meet the requirements for an Actemra lawsuit you may be entitled to substantial compensation. WHAT ARE THE ACTEMRA SIDE EFFECTS TO THE HEART AND LUNGS? Call a Nashville Actemra lawyer if you suffered serious Actemra side effects
A STAT News report and postmarketing studies raise questions about the adequacy of Actemra's safety warnings.
STAT reviewed more than 500,000 adverse event reports on leading rheumatoid arthritis drugs, including Actemra, Humira, and Remicade. STAT found evidence that Roche downplayed Actemra’s cardiovascular, pancreatic, and lung side effects. According to STAT, from 2010 to 2016 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) logged more than 13,500 Actemra adverse event reports, including 1,128 patients who died after taking Actemra. While safety data indicate the risks of heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and interstitial lung disease are as high or higher for Actemra patients than for patients taking some similar drugs, Actemra’s warning label—unlike its competition's—does not reflect these risks. For example, Actemra patients reported more cases of interstitial lung disease than Remicade patients, and nearly the same number as Humira patients. But while Remicade and Humira have interstitial lung disease warnings, Actemra does not. STAT’s findings are supported by postmarketing studies—clinical studies conducted after a pharmaceutical product goes on the market to better understand drug risks. The FDA ordered Actemra postmarketing studies because premarket testing revealed potentially worrisome side effects. One such study compared Actemra to another arthritis drug, Enbrel, and found rates of stroke and heart failure were about 1.5 times higher in Actemra users. Enbrel has strong warnings for patients with cardiovascular disease. Actemra does not have similar warnings despite similar or worse cardiovascular risks. The takeaway from these findings is that doctors and patients may not be getting a complete picture of Actemra’s risk-benefit profile.
