Testosterone Litigation

Testosterone lawsuits have been mounting in U.S. courts since January 2014, when the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it was reviewing the cardiovascular risks allegedly associated with testosterone therapy. Testosterone Plaintiffs accuse the manufacturers of testosterone related prescription drugs of deceptive marketing and a failure to warn patients and doctors of their potential to cause serious cardiovascular problems.

On March 3, 2015, the FDA announced that it will now require the drugs manufacturers to add information to their product labels detailing their potential to increase the risk for heart attacks and strokes. The FDA also expressed concern that these therapies are being used extensively to relieve low testosterone normally associated with aging, and reiterated that the benefits and safety of this use have not been established.

Men who suffered heart attacks, strokes and other serious cardiovascular problems allegedly due to their use of low testosterone therapies may be entitled to take legal action and qualify to file into the in U.S. District Court Northern District of Illinois federal multidistrict litigation case.
