Many different users of the drug Onglyza said that they were never properly told about the dangerous side effects to watch out for, including the signs of congestive heart failure.

Users of Onglyza could be at risk of developing signs of congestive heart failure, but a number of different patients who have come forward to file the lawsuits say that they were never told about these dangers when being prescribed the medication. Therefore, they allegedly could not watch out for these symptoms and signs until it became too late.

A plaintiff, Mark D., alleges in his signs of congestive heart failure lawsuit that the manufacturers of Onglyza are responsible for failing to warn users about the dangerous risks including signs of congestive heart failure.

In the signs of congestive heart failure lawsuit, Mark says that he ingested saxagliptin, also known as Onglyza, from February 2013 to January 2015. He claims that because of his treatment with Onglyza, he developed congestive heart failure.

Onglyza is prescribed to treat type-2 diabetes, but patients who have used this medication say that they were never told about the dangerous risk profile that could ultimately impact their heart health or lead to serious cardiovascular events.

The Onglyza lawsuit says that the defendants marketed this medication as a treatment for type-2 diabetes and as a safe and effective tool for doing so. The plaintiff in the signs of congestive heart failure lawsuit says that he suffered a number of different side effects associated with using the drug including heart failure, cardiovascular injury and congestive heart failure.

Furthermore, he alleges that he is entitled to compensation because he additionally suffered inconvenience, pain and suffering, mental and bodily injuries, loss of earnings and earning capacity, and will have to cope with future medical expenses. He alleges that the defendants knew about the dangerous risks of use of Onglyza including signs of congestive heart failure.

The signs of congestive heart failure lawsuit says that the plaintiff, as well as the prescribing physicians, were not given the opportunity to make an informed decision about whether or not the drug should be used based on the risk of congestive heart failure side effects. The plaintiff says that he was required to incur expenses for testing, treatment and medical care because of the defendant’s conduct and will continue to suffer side effects for years to come.

Patients who do not understand that they should be aware of the possible signs of congestive heart failure could be at risk for a fatal heart-related incident if they do not seek medical help. A medication’s manufacturer might be accused of being negligent when users develop significant side effects without ever being warned of the critical dangers.

The Signs of Congestive Heart Failure Lawsuit is case 5:18-CV-00386-KKC filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York.
