Ketek Attorneys

in Colorado and Nationwide

Ketek is a popular antibiotic marketed by Sanofi-Aventis SA. The use of the drug appears to lead to liver damage and possible death. Sanofi's clinical studies, which are generally necessary for FDA approval of a drug, were so flawed as to be useless. The FDA nonetheless relied on the drug's safety record in Japan and Europe, where it had been in use sine 2001, as a basis to approve the drug for sales in the United States.

Ketek may be up to four times more toxic than other antibiotics. The FDA published a Safety Information Alert describing the development of liver problems, including three cases of serious liver toxicity, associated with the use of Ketek. Of those three cases, one patient recovered, one had a liver transplant, and one died. All three of the patients had been healthy before taking Ketek. A later Safety Information Alert, published on June 29, 2006, mentioned four reported deaths and one liver transplant.

If you believe you have a Ketek injury claim, please call or email us today for a free consultation. At Burg Simpson Eldredge Hersh & Jardine, P.C., our Colorado attorneys represent people who have suffered injuries because of Ketek.
