The Pain of Rheumatoid Arthritis
The Arthritis Foundation says women who have RA generally begin to feel its effects between the ages of 30 and 60, while men often suffer from RA later in life. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the body’s joints, creating inflammation. The natural lubrication in the joints thickens and swells, causing pain. Many sufferers who have sought relief from the pain of RA were prescribed a drug produced by Roche Pharmaceutical, branded as Actemra. The drug suppresses the body’s immune system, providing relief for many patients. It may be causing severe unexpected complications for others. If you’ve been negatively affected by Actemra’s effects on the heart, lungs, pancreas, or liver, it’s time to contact the accident and injury law office of Terry Bryant today.
Actemra and the Immune System
Doctors have been prescribing Actemra for moderate to severe forms of RA for years. Actemra suppresses the immune system to provide relief from joint pain. While Actemra, like many other prescription drugs, has known side effects, the manufacturer of Actemra has denied any severe complications to the liver, pancreas, heart, and lungs from taking the drug. There are now, however, a growing number of claims against Actemra and Roche Pharmaceutical from people and families of those who have suffered these conditions. The drug maker continues not to recognize any connection between Actemra and these ailments.
If you or a family member has suffered from any of these conditions we urge you to take action today by calling Terry Brant Accident & Injury Law at 713-973-8888.
Fighting for Your Rights
Roche Pharmaceutical is a large, Swiss-based, international company with about 80,000 employees worldwide. the accident and injury law office of Terry Bryant believes, however, that those responsible for the harmful effects of their products on others should be held accountable, no matter how big and powerful they may be. It is simply not OK to ignore the mounting evidence against Actemra by continuing not to provide critical and full information to doctors and patients. It is not right to dismiss lung disease as “non-serious” and liver problems as “generally mild and reversible,” as the company did in an Investor Update. Doctors prescribed Actemra in good faith, and patients took the drug seeking relief from the pain of RA. It now appears many have tragically suffered as a result. Heart attacks, lung disease, pancreatitis, and gastrointestinal perforations can have fatal implications. It’s time to take action.
