Diabetes and other side-effects of Seroquel: How Weitz & Luxenberg can assist you in getting compensation
Seroquel is a drug prescribed most commonly for schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder. Although still on the market, Seroquel contains risks of serious side-effects including: diabetes, pancreatitis, suicide, and heart failure.
In April of 2010, Seroquel’s manufacturer, AstraZeneca, reached a $520 million settlement with the U.S. government over improper marketing of the drug that affected the lives of over 25,000 people. Weitz & Luxenberg can assist those seriously injured by Seroquel. We can help you file a lawsuit against AstraZeneca, which will compensate you for your losses brought on by their drug’s dangerous side-effects. Contact us today for a free legal consultation.
What is Seroquel?
Seroquel is classified as an “atypical antipsychotic” drug. Manufacturers often market it for “off-label” use, meaning it has been prescribed to treat patients, including children, for conditions like ADHD and OCD— uses that have not been approved by the FDA. 30 percent of patients who take atypical antipsychotic drugs experience significant weight gain and in some cases even lead to diabetes (CNN).
Those side effects, said the FDA, “are of particular concern in pediatric patients because of the life-long nature of these disorders and the fact that these patients are particularly vulnerable, in part because they may be exposed for many decades, and in part because of possible effects on growth and development.” Weitz & Luxenberg understands the severity of a child or adolescent suffering from diabetes. We can help get you compensation for the pain and suffering caused to your family because of Seroquel’s dangerous side-effects.
A teenager with diabetes and how it affects your family
A teenager with diabetes needs on-going medical attention, which is a strain on any family’s finances. Plus, a teen that suffers from diabetes faces the following psychological issues (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation):
- Fear of death
- Inability to create a sexual identity
- Feelings of guilt (as if being punished by the disease)
- Poor self-image
- Difficulty developing a sense of independence
Any family facing these issues deserves compensation. At Weitz & Luxenberg we can walk you through the process of getting compensated for medical bills, pain and suffering, and any other expenses or losses incurred by taking the drug Seroquel.
