The $ 1.4 billion Levaquin turnover is good for Johnson & Johnson. How good was Levaquin for you?

So many patients have suffered from the terrible side effects of Levaquin that it is hard to believe that the drug is still on the market, generating well over a billion dollar of sales every year for the manufacturer. Levaquin, approved by the FDA in 1996, has been under increased scrutiny and criticism ever since. Thousands of patients having reported terrible side effects, the FDA finally mandated a "black box warning" on all Levaquin products. A black box warning informs patient of the serious, even life-threatening adverse effects of a drug, and is the highest level warning short of a product recall.

To this day, many Levaquin packaged drugs are still on the market without the warning, and doctors prescribe the antibiotic without properly warning the patient of the astonishing list of side effects, some of which are irreversible:

Tendon injuries, including rupture and tendinitis, more likely affecting the Achilles tendon as well as those of the knees, shoulders, elbows and wrists;
Vision problems, double vision, loss of color vision and complete loss of vision;
Nerve damage in the hands and / or feet;
Severe allergic reaction, anemia and central nervous system disorders;
Life threatening skin problems.

As long as a total nationwide recall of Levaquin is not in effect, unsuspecting patients and especially seniors - who are more likely to suffer intense adverse reactions - will be at risk of having their lives ruined, as illustrated by countless horror stories. Picture yourself the life of an active 76-year old woman, taking care of her Parkinson disease suffering husband, enjoying the company of friends, children and grand children, and finding herself suddenly in immense pain, unable to walk, with a blurred vision and cramps in the hand, high blood pressure and a racing pulse, just because she took a prescribed antibiotic to treat a cold and aching throat.

Fighting for your rights is vital. If you or someone you love has been through terrible adverse reactions on Levaquin or any other prescription drug, you probably spent a lot of money on additional doctor consultations, lab tests and medications while suffering intense pain and long term impairment or disabilities. For some people adverse side effects are fatal.

You have a right to be compensated, and you would help others by bringing the pharmaceutical industry to account, while adding the pressure on the FDA to act. Product liability lawsuits for dangerous drugs are an effective way to achieve this, and require the support of a firm such as Van Wey Law.
