Why Choose Ricci Law Firm, P.A.?
Amputations – The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning in May 2017 regarding increased risks of amputation in patients taking Invokana. According to several studies, patients on Invokana were found to be twice as likely to experience foot, toe, and leg amputations as those who did not take the medication.
Kidney Failure – Patients taking Invokana have been found to have increased risks of kidney failure. When the kidneys shut down, they are no longer capable of filtering blood, which can lead to weakness of the body, lethargy, abnormal heartbeat, and sudden death.
Ketoacidosis – Ketoacidosis is a serious complication caused by a decreased supply of insulin. As a result, the body begins to burn fat, resulting in higher levels of toxic acids, or ketones, in the bloodstream. Symptoms can include excessive thirst, vomiting, abdominal pain, increased heartrate, low blood pressure, and more.
Heart Attack – Patients taking Invokana face greater risks of heart attacks due to restricted blood flow to the heart, sometimes with fatal consequences.
Ricci Law Firm, P.A. is passionate about protecting the rights of injured victims and families who suffer preventable harm as a result of taking unsafe medications. Under product liability laws, manufacturers – including pharmaceutical companies that make medications available to the public without fully testing them or alerting consumers about associated risks – can be held liable when those products cause harm to consumers who used them as intended.
