Read about Permax (Pergolide), Dangerous Drug for Parkinson's Disease

Permax (chemical name: pergolide mesylate), made by Eli Lilly and marketed by Valeant, was prescribed for patients with Parkinson's disease and also used off-label for Restless Legs syndrome. It was also sold generically as Pergolide by Par and Teva.

The drug was withdrawn from the market on March 29, 2007 due to scientific studies indicating it increased the risk of heart valve disease in patients who took it.

According to the Food & Drug Administration's MedWatch website, an estimated 500,000 people have used Permax since 1989.

If you took Permax and subsequently developed heart disease, you deserve an attorney knowledgeable about this harmful pharmaceutical.
