More Chantix Issues Come to Light
Chantix, Pfizer's popular smoking-cessation drug, has been in the news for causing increased suicidal thoughts and behavior, but now the drug is coming under fire for causing vision and heart problems, dizziness, loss of consciousness, seizures and abnormal muscle spasms. These side effects were made public in a report from the Institute for Safe Medication Practices. This report has prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to ban the use of the drug by pilots and air traffic controllers.
The report cites 173 serious events described as accidental injuries, including 28 road accidents and 77 falls. There were also 68 cases of blurred vision, 86 cases involving seizures and 372 reports of movement disorders. The researchers who compiled the report have asked that the Food and Drug Administration undertake an epidemiological study to assess potential risks.
If you or a loved one has taken a drug and suffered adverse effects, you may have a valid legal claim. Please contact the attorneys at Long & Waite today to schedule your initial consultation.
