Zithromax Side Effects Highlight International Awareness Needs
By John Curran
Many Zithromax class action lawsuit attorneys received clients as a result of increased media attention. When Z-Pak heart attack side effects sufferers saw news articles on Top Class Actions and similar awareness sites, or even on the nightly news, they knew that there were options for pursuing legal action against Bayer, the drug’s manufacturer. That’s what makes a recent international public relations move by Bayer even more disconcerting.
In Africa, there are not many TVs available or Internet to research Zithromax cardiovascular side effects. That’s troubling because Bayer just shipped more than 200,000 doses of a children’s version of Zithromax, and at least that many treatments for adults. In spite of knowledge by many doctors and scientists of Zithromax Z-Pak side effects, the Tanzanian minister of health and social welfare noted that the drug was being used to treat trachoma, a disease that can damage eyes. That’s because other methods of trachoma treatment can be expensive, like surgery. The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare said that combining Zithromax with a campaign of teaching people better sanitation, such as washing one’s face, would reduce the occurrences of trachoma in Africa. However, one of the little-known side effects of Zithromax is trachoma, eye infections and blindness, in addition to a host of other Z-Pak side effects.
Minimizing the issues surrounding many prescriptions is an ongoing goal for pharmaceutical firms and ad agencies, and Z-Pak side effects are no different. So Americans are now seeing commercials that highlight the conditions that company drugs treat, while minimizing their side effects.
Current advertising rules require the ads to include mention of side effects if the product is named. The loophole is that if it isn’t, manufacturers can create websites with fine print that no one ever reads, until they have to consult a prescription drug class action lawsuit attorney. It’s why pharmaceutical companies are willing to forgo the advantage of offering drug discounts on TV in order not to have to highlight Zithromax side effects and those of other drugs.
Since there are more media outlets in the U.S., the developments are less worrisome. Yet, now that pharmaceutical companies are willing to engage in advertising tactics to minimize awareness about Z-Pak side effects, consumers have to be just as vigilant. While there are more outlets available, and the Internet offers more news sources, Zithromax side effects lawyers can’t reach out to everyone. To be truly safe, patients are going to have to do their homework to limit worries over Zithromax side effects such as heart attack, cardiovascular problems, trachoma and blindness.
