Testosterone Lawsuit Information
Testosterone therapy has been advertised to men who wish to increase their energy and sex drive. The FDA, however, never approved testosterone medications for such use. Rather, testosterone replacement therapies were only approved to treat diagnosed cases of hypogonadism in conjunction with an associated medical condition. The widespread use of so-called “Low T” therapy can subject otherwise healthy men to dangerous side effects including blood clots, stroke, heart attack, and death. A growing number of men are now pursuing a testosterone lawsuit after suffering serious medical injuries.
The Dangers of Low T Therapy
Testosterone lawsuits allege that drug manufacturers invented a condition called Low T that was not medically recognized in order to develop and profit from the sale of Low T therapies. Lawsuits further allege that manufacturers failed to properly warn physicians and consumers about known health risks while promoting Low T products as safe and effective lifestyle treatments.
Recent medical studies support these allegations. Findings published in peer-reviewed journals including JAMA and PLOS ONE show elevated cardiovascular risks in men who use testosterone therapy. In addition, the FDA issued a safety warning in March 2015 about the risks of heart attack, stroke, and death among men using testosterone products. These side effects can result from use of the topical gel, transdermal patch, buccal system, or injection.
About the Low T Class Action
Hundreds of testosterone therapy lawsuits have been filed in both state and federal courts around the country. These cases are not part of a testosterone class action. Instead, each Low T lawsuit is filed individually. That means each plaintiff is represented by his own attorney and litigates his claim according to the unique legal damages he experienced. The first step in any case is to receive an informed evaluation of your potential claim.
