Why Fresenius Lawsuit Issues Never Should Have Occurred
By John Curran
Pharmaceutical companies have always tried to make money re-purposing products, but issues like those suffered by GranuFlo heart attack lawsuit plaintiffs should have never happened. For example, in the late 19th century, oil producers lost customers as lamps were powered by electricity, but were saved by cars needing gasoline. Unfortunately, medical knowledge developed shortly after that should have tipped off Fresenius Medical Care that NaturaLyte heart attack risks were a real threat.
Bicarbonates have been used to treat heart attack patients since before the Great Depression, but by the 1980s scientists released data indicating that the chemical would cause problems that GranuFlo heart attack lawsuit attorneys are already seeing. Specifically, increased levels of bicarbonate decrease heart and liver function. Considering kidney dialysis patients already have circulatory problems, it’s not a surprise that nearly 1,000 patients suffered from GranuFlo and NaturaLyte cardiac arrest conditions in a single year.
Yet, as Top Class Actions has noted, although the risks of GranuFlo heart attack side effects are six to eight times higher than average, Fresenius Medical Care may have dragged its feet in warning potential kidney failure victims. A complete recall wasn’t issued until last summer by the FDA and Fresenius Medical Care lawsuit lawyers argue that the German company tipped doctors at its own dialysis centers in the United States months before the general public. It did so in spite of the ability to test the blood for compounds that would have shown the risk, backed by more than 20 years of science.
GranuFlo/NaturaLyte recall lawsuit attorneys allege that the medication has caused heart attacks, but also deaths and strokes in certain situations. Many also allege that the company should have warned all kidney dialysis patients taking the medication as soon as Fresenius Medical Care knew back in the fall of 2011.
