Nexium and Prilosec Lawsuit Claims Lawyer

Heartburn and acid reflux disease affect millions of people, which made proton pump inhibitors a popular medication. Two of the popular options for giving relief for digestive discomfort are Nexium and Prilosec. Many people have used these drugs for years, not knowing the possible serious health risks. If you have suffered renal, heart or kidney damage after long-term use of Nexium or Prilosec, you may be eligible to seek compensation through a defective drug claim.

Proton pump inhibitors, or PPIs, are used to reduce stomach acid that can cause heart burn and irritate the esophagus. Nexium and Prilosec have been on the market for many years, with Prilosec available first in the late 1980s and Nexium in 2001. The drugs have been widely used and were marketed as a safe and effective treatment for digestive issues. Many people used these drugs to control heartburn and acid reflux, taking the drugs daily for a year or longer. Both have now been linked to serious organ damage and other health issues, risks that were not disclosed to patients using the drugs.

Risks of Long-term Use of PPIs

While using Nexium or Prilosec for a short period of time has not been linked to health problems, those who have taken these drugs for a year or more could be at risk for health issues. The risk is even higher for users who are 50 years of age or older. Some of the health risks include:

Chronic kidney disease
Renal failure
Heart damage – higher risk of stroke or heart attack
Bone fractures

Manufacturers of Prilosec and Nexium are accused of concealing risks of the drugs and not performing the safety tests needed. Patients who have health problems that may have been caused by or linked to use of these drugs may be eligible to seek compensation for their injuries. Contact our team at Ligori & Ligori Attorneys at Law if you believe you or a loved one has had serious health problems caused by the use of PPIs. We can discuss your options and the possibility of filing a defective drug claim.

I just wanted to take a quick time out to say something nice about Mr. Tim Sanders. This man spent an entire year handling my affairs like he was my personal friend. He went to bat for me, and I could tell he cared a great deal about me, my case directly, and he clearly takes a great deal of pride and integrity into his work. You hear a lot of negative about lawyers in this world. Tim, was a tireless worker to get me what I deserved. This guy does his living from the heart. I made a really great choice when I called Tim. My wife and I are so thankful we did.

My experience with Ligori & Ligori was excellent. Their attention to detail and genuine concern for my situation showed that they truly cared about me as a client. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Ligori & Ligori to anyone needing help and direction after an auto accident.

Alisabeth S.

Ligori & Ligori is an amazing law firm. The employees take time with you to make sure that you truly understand the details of your case and why things are done a certain way to produce the best results. When calling, I always spoke to a person and on the off chance that a message was left, I received a return call promptly. I highly recommend Ligori & Ligori.

Michael J.

Mr. Ligori's firm took the time to explain the legal process and find another attorney in another county. If this law firm can go the extra distance for not even their client, imagine the dedication and expertise if you were their client.

Angela K.

I got into an auto accident and hired Mr. Sanders to represent me a couple weeks later after my insurance company’s lackluster performance to help get me back to normal. I was nervous, this was my first accident with injury and I had never hired a lawyer before. Well let me say, my expectations were met and exceeded, every step of the way. Ligori and Sanders were focused on me and my health. They were polite, prompt, and went to bat for me when the insurance company was not. Not only would I recommend Ligori and Sanders to anyone who needs them, I would insist.
