AndroGel, a drug used to supplement testosterone which is naturally made by the body. Some men suffer from conditions caused by low testosterone, and the gel is used to aid the lack of natural testosterone. It is a topical hormone gel used simply by rubbing the medication onto the skin. However simple this treatment may seem, the complications it causes are more complex. Information by the federal drug regulatory agency reports at least 42 heart attacks, 44 pulmonary emboli, 18 cerebral vascular accidents and 12 deaths associated with the use of this treatment.
Legal Commentary
Our firm represents victims of the dangerous and deadly testosterone replacement therapies. If you or a loved one have used testosterone replacement therapies such as AndroGel, Androderm, Testim, and Axiron and have experienced cardiac adverse effects, we encourage you to consult with one of our Pharmaceutical attorneys as soon as possible. A successful civil claim pursued against the responsible party will ensure the victims are not burdened with costly medical or funeral expenses. Although no monetary value can compensate for the death of a loved one who used any of these products, a successful claim will hopefully compensate for pain, suffering, and lost wages for time missed from work.
