Nexium is a prescription drug that was taken by the husband of a woman who has been having serious, chronic pain for the last ten years. When the wife of the patient began taking nexium, she noticed that her level of pain was reducing. She presented her case to her doctor, stating that there were side effects associated with the medicine that made it unsafe for her to continue taking it. The doctor explained to her that the medicine had not been discontinued because the patient’s symptoms were so severe that continued intake would result in complications, and that sexism was not an appropriate treatment for her condition.
In late January of 2021, according to a news report, nexium was recalled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) due to reports of three separate cases of acute renal failure, kidney damage, and cognitive impairment related to dementia. Nexium is a diuretic that controls fluid levels in the body and was specifically designed to prevent dehydration of patients with kidney disease. According to the FDA, nexium is usually taken orally on a daily basis for its intended use. It can cause mild nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, increased thirst and urination, fatigue, muscle weakness, and balance problems.
Class Action Lawsuits filed in the name of the wife of the patient shows that nexium contributed to the loss of her spouse, as well as her own dementia and loss of memory. The wife of the patient began taking the medicine shortly before her wedding day and presented numerous side effects, including fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. According to the news report, these side effects did not go away, and several of them progressed. The next phase of the lawsuit revealed that medium was the primary cause of the patient’s debilitating dementia, resulting in her inability to remember her own name or address. Because she was unable to remember her own name, the doctors did not file a claim against GlaxoSmithKline but filed a case against it instead.
In these lawsuits, victims are granted class action lawsuits solely based on the grounds that they have been harmed due to the defendant’s negligence. As a result, not only are they granted compensation for their pain and suffering, but their families are also entitled to compensation for medical care, lost wages, and other damages. As previously stated, all such lawsuits must be filed within a certain period of time after the injury takes place. This is necessary to give the plaintiff time to find a suitable lawyer to file the case. The filing deadlines vary from state to state, so you should check your state’s statute of limitations to see when your lawsuit will be filed.
One of the best things about filing these lawsuits is that they allow victims to seek monetary compensation without having to undergo expensive and complicated kidney surgery. Although these cases are filed in state court, plaintiffs are usually allowed to join or recuse the case in order to make sure that the complaint has merit. Moreover, in most instances the victim does not even have to live in New York to file the lawsuit. In many cases, victims can even file the lawsuit remotely through the internet. This is possible since several Class Action lawsuits are now being sponsored by settlement funding companies.
In addition to providing monetary compensation, victims of Ritalin related injuries receive medical care at a specialist facility, often in a coma. As previously mentioned, kidney disease is the most common condition associated with these class action lawsuits, and as a result, many people have to spend years in the hospital or nursing home. The legal fees related to these lawsuits add up to large amounts of money that often take a very long time to recoup. In many instances, victims are unable to work again and need to decide whether or not they will be able to afford the large cost of a transplant.
