Neurontin
can be bought at :
A consumer protection lawsuit was
filed against Pfizer Pharmaceuticals
by the doctors on the behalf of all
California citizens who were led astray
about the product called “Zoloft”.
The case was won on the 14th of May
2004 when Pfizer declared themselves
guilty in a federal court. They pleaded
guilty because of the unlawful promotion
and marketing of Neurontin, which
was preceded by Warner-Lambert. In
settlement of the lawsuit, Pfizer
paid four hundred and thirty million
dollars as settlement.
After the case was over, many more
lawsuits were filed against the manufacturer
of Neurontin. Some major reasons for
Neurontin lawsuits include the following:
• There have been many Neurontin
lawsuits by patients claiming to suffer
from severe depression and drowsiness.
The adverse effects a patient encounters
during the course of this medication,
serves as a basis for Neurontin Lawsuits.
Since these problems are not made
clear to the patients from the developer
of these medications who failed to
project the danger of this medication
to its user, a patient has every right
to claim against the company
• The charges brought against
the pharmaceutical company Parke-Davis
was that marketing plans contained
‘uses’ of the drug that
were not approved by the Food and
Drug administration.
• The lawsuit further reveals
that the company had clinical tests
done but were done on a very small
scale. This was just to fulfill the
purpose of getting encouraging results
so that they could get articles written
up in medical journals.
• There have been several Neurontin
lawsuits by patients who claim that
the manufacturers of Neurontin falsely
promoted their medications despite
being aware of its damaging side effects.
Neurontin production to generate illegal
revenue is one of the major bases
on which Neurontin law suits are filed.
The company can be challenged in court
in this regard, and the patient can
hire appropriate lawyers to aid him/her
proceed with a claim.
Statistical accounts that amount
to approximately 1.8 billion dollars
worth of Neurontin were sold in the
year 2001. Around 80% of the total
money spent on the drug was all used
for treatments that were not approved
by the FDA. If a patient feels that
the medication caused him or her severe
harm, s/he should seek help from a
lawyer and seek help in the legal
process.
