Did We Know About Liver Problems Related to Ketek Before It's Release?

Weitz and Luxenberg is no longer accepting Ketek cases.

Based on the pre-marketing clinical data it appeared that the risk of liver injury with telithromycin was similar to that of other marketed antibiotics.

FDA looked extensively at the potential for hepatic toxicity in patients treated with Ketek.

Data was examined from clinical studies, as well as information in nearly 4 million postmarketing prescriptions outside the United States.

Ketek was the subject of two advisory committee meetings with input from a national expert on drug-induced liver disease.

The committee concluded that the risk for hepatotoxicity from Ketek was similar to Augmentin and erythromycin which are other approved antibiotics.
