Learn about the link between Permax and Heart Disease--Get Lawsuit Info

Thousands of patients with Parkinson's disease trusted Permax (pergolide), only to find that the drug has been linked to heart valve damage.

There are reported incidences of patients who will need to have their heart valves replaced because they took Permax.

Trouble regarding Permax surfaced in 2002 after some reports of heart valve problems. Label warnings were subsequently added.

Then, in 2006, a boxed warning was added to the labeling for Permax. It cautioned patients on the risk of serious heart valve damage.

Recent studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine reported high rates of heart valve leakage in patients taking the drug.

Those alarming reports, in part, led to the drug being pulled from the market.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting Permax cases.
