Defense Counsel:

TCA Staff Tidbit: The Zetia/Vytorin Class Action Lawsuit Settlement covers those who took these medications to treat their high cholesterol. Are you one of the thousands of Americans who takes one of these medications on a regular basis? If so you may want to make sure you take part in this settlement. The payout may be quite significant for claimants. This isn’t a class action lawsuit settlement which pays out a few bucks to claimants. If you’re of the affected class you may be able to claim hundreds of dollars, especially if you took Zetia or Vytorin for a number of years.

The Pharmaceutical companies settling the Zetia/Vytorin Class Action Lawsuit Settlement are paying out the majority of the award to Third Party Payors (insurance companies mainly.) This is because most consumers pay for Zetia or Vytorin with their health insurance benefits and just are responsible for a co-pay. Keep in mind that even though you’ll only likely get a portion of your co-payments back if you took Zetia or Vytorin for years you may still received hundreds of dollars. Don’t let it sawy you from submitting your claim. Head over to the Settlement Administrator Website now and submit your claim.
