The Fox Law Firm is currently investigating serious side effects potentially linked to the use of Januvia and/or Janumet.  Acute pancreatitis and other issues are of primary concern.

Acute Pancreatitis:  Januvia®, and Janumet®

Pancreatitis is the general term for inflammation of the pancreas.

Acute pancreatitis is sudden, unlike chronic pancreatitis, which is recurring.

Acute pancreatitis can have severe complications and a high mortality even with hospitalization and assertive treatment.

The hallmark symptom of acute pancreatitis is acute abdominal pain that sometimes radiates to the back. This pain sometimes may include vomiting.

Acute pancreatitis can also cause internal bleeding (hemorrhagic pancreatitis) or tissue death (necrotizing pancreatitis).

Side-Effects of Januvia® and Janumet®
Severe and even fatal responses to Januvia® and Janumet® have been reported, such as:

Death, Acute Pancreatitis, Necrotizing Pancreatitis, Hemorrhagic Pancreatitis, and Cutaneous Vasculitis

If you or a loved one have suffered side effects after taking Januvia and/or Janumet please contact us immediately for a free consulation.

Never stop taking any medication unless directed to do so by your fully licensed medical doctor / physician.

We would like to talk to you immediately if you or a loved one have been involved with injury of any kind from a DePuy ASR Hip Implant. 

Some of the side-effects mentioned in the ASR hip cup revision reports that we would like to talk with you about immediately include:

>Pseudotumour: a soft tissue mass that may be the result of a toxic reaction to an excess of particulate metal wear debris.

>Metallosis: condition of excessive metal debris.

>ALVAL (Aseptic Lymphocyte Dominated Vasculitis Associated Lesion): an adverse tissue reaction to metal particles and ions.

>Implanted cup loosening or failing to bond.

We are particularly interested in speaking with you as soon as possible if you or a loved one have suffered from one of the following due to prolonged denture cream use:

•  Neuropathy
•  Zinc Poisoning
•  Hypocupremia and / or
•  Hyperzincemia

Denture creams help to adhere dentures to an individual’s gums and help stop pain and discomfort while wearing dentures. Zinc is found in some denture creams and can be harmful when individuals are exposed to toxic levels. Fixodent® and Super Poligrip® are two denture creams that contain zinc. Excessive zinc in the body can lead to several significant health problems.

Research has found that users of denture creams such as Fixodent and Super Poligrip are at risk for zinc poisoning.

Zinc Poisoning symptoms include:

- paralysis
- weakness in the extremities
- lack of coordination and/or poor balance
- pain in the extremities
- tingling or numbness
- difficulty urinating
- loss of sensation

Excess levels of Zinc in the blood can also result in the following diagnoses:

- ZINC POISONING
- MYELOPATHY (SPINAL CORD DAMAGE)
- NEUROPATHY
- COPPER DEFICIENCY – HYPOCUPREMIA
- ANEMIA
AND/OR
- BONE MARROW FAILURE

If you or a loved one have used denture creams of any kind and suffer from these or other significant symptoms / injuries, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact The Fox Law Firm immediately via this website or 1-866-FOX-FIRM, (369-3476), Se Habla Espanol.

Accutane®:  Acctutane® (a marketed name of Isotretinoin) is used in the treatment of severe nodular acne. It is generally used in patients who fail to significantly respond to other forms of acne treatments, such as antibiotics. Accutane works by reducing the amount of oil released by oil-glands in the skin, and helps the skin to renew itself.
 
Accutane® Side-Effects:  Patients taking Isotretinoin may experience side effects including severe headaches, blurred vision, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, seizures, stroke, diarrhea, and muscle weakness. Additionally, serious mental health problems, such as depression and suicide, have been reported with Isotretinoin use.
 
Accutane and the FDA: According to the Food and Drug Administration: “Isotretinoin is a potentially dangerous prescription medicine that should only be taken under the close supervision of your health-care professional and pharmacist. If you are pregnant or may get pregnant, Isotretinoin can cause birth defects, miscarriage, premature births, and death in babies. Buying this product over the Internet bypasses important procedures to ensure that patients can take this drug safely. When these procedures are ignored, Isotretinoin can cause serious and harmful side effects.”

Levaquin®:
 
Levaquin is a brand-name of Levofloxacin, a synthetic chemotherapeutic agent that belongs to a class of broad-spectrum antibiotics called fluroquinolones.

Levaquin is a prescription-based drug that can be used by adults in the treatment of pneumonia, skin-infections, sinusitis, bronchitis, kidney infections, bladder infections, prostate infections, and inhaled-anthrax.

Levaquin Side-Effects:
 
A number of serious side-effects have been associated with the use of Levaquin.

Those side effects include Achilles tendon ruptures, ruptures to the shoulder, hand, biceps and thumb.

In addition, serious tendon damage has also been reported in patients prescribed Levaquin.
 
Levaquin and the FDA:
 
In October 2008, the Food and Drug Administration issued an alert that stated: “Fluoroquinolones, including Levaquin, are associated with an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture in all ages. This risk is further increased in older patients usually over 60 years of age, in patients taking corticosteroid drugs, and in patients with kidney, heart and lung transplants.”
 
The FDA added: “Tendon rupture can occur during or after completion of therapy; cases occurring up to several months after completion of therapy have been reported. Levaquin should be discontinued if the patient experiences pain, swelling, inflammation or rupture of a tendon. Patients should be advised to rest at the first sign of tendinitis or tendon rupture, and to contact their health-care provider regarding changing to a non-quinolone antimicrobial drug.”
