RENO PHARMACEUTICAL LAWYER
Reno Nevada Pharmaceutical Attorney
At the Law Offices of Frank D. Penney, our practice of law is dedicated entirely to representing injured parties and helping them obtain full and fair compensation from pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, medical providers, and corporations.
Merck released the arthritis medication Vioxx, also known as Rofecoxib, in 1999, marketing it as a superior pain medication without the usual side effects. Subsequent studies revealed, however, that Vioxx is associated with heart attacks, strokes, blood clots and cardiovascular injuries, and Merck pulled from the market in September of 2004, after millions of people word-wide had taken it. Similar Cox 2 inhibitors such as Celebrex and Bextra are under investigation by the FDA because of the risk of heart attack associated with them. Bristol Myers Squibb withdrew the antidepressant Serzone in May, 2004, because of its association with liver damage. We have experience with many other dangerous drugs such as Fen Phen, Zyprexa, Baycol, Crestor, to give a few examples.
If you or a loved one has been injured by taking one of these drugs, you need the experience and knowledge that our personal injury attorneys provide. We will thoroughly evaluate your case, and file a lawsuit against the drug company on your behalf seeking just compensation. Contact our office today to discuss your case.
