Background on Valsartan and Similar Prescription Drugs

In 2014, pharmaceutical manufacturers introduced Valsartan, and similar drugs like Losartan and Irebsartan, to help patients treat their hypertension, or high blood pressure. The purpose of these drugs was to reduce the risk of heart failure by acting as receptor blockers. However, in 2018, the FDA recalled these drugs after discovering that large batches of them had been contaminated during the manufacturing process. The FDA found traces of nitrosamines, which medical researchers believe to be carcinogenic, or cancer-causing. While all medications have potentially harmful side effects, Valsartan is particularly dangerous because doctors believe that the nitrosamines found within the drug can cause significant damage even at very low levels.

If you suspect you have a Valsartan claim, you should consult an experienced attorney with Braddock Law Firm, PLLC. Our legal team will explain your rights and discuss the options available to you.

Who Can File a Valsartan Claim and On What Grounds?

If you develop cancer while taking one of these drugs you might have a legal claim. Medical experts believe that taking Valsartan can cause certain cancers, such as intestinal cancer, colorectal cancer, stomach cancer, and liver cancer.

Pharmaceutical manufacturers have a duty to design and manufacture medications that are both safe and effective. For this reason, you might be able to sue the manufacturer in a product liability suit for creating a defective drug.

While some potentially harmful side effects are unavoidable, new drugs should never cause more harm than good. The drug companies made a mistake by allowing Valsartan and other similar medications to become contaminated during the manufacturing process. Instead of producing a safe medicine for patients that need it to survive, they created a dangerous drug with life-threatening side effects.
