Our Personal Injury Lawyers Are Investigating Oral Sodium Phosphate (Phospho-Soda) For Kidney Damage
Our oral
sodium phosphate lawyers have recently begun investigation cases across the
country related to the dangers of this drug.
Most sodium phosphate is routinely before colonoscopies. Over the past several years, the US Food and
Drug Administration have received an alarming number of reports and they have
subsequently linked the drug to onset of acute phosphate nephropathy. This is a very dangerous condition where
calcium phosphate crystal develops in your renal tract. This leads to kidney damage and impairment of
the renal functions. Essentially the kidneys are responsible for filtering out all waste products from your blood. Any damage to the kidneys impairs their abilities to filter out this waste and your body becomes toxic in itself. Of course this is extremely dangerous and can lead to death.
On February 11, 2006, the Federal Food and Drug Administration announced their requirement that the package of these drugs had to contain a Black Box Warning. Black Box Warnings are known for their black outline on the packaging. This is required by the FDA for drugs which studies have shown cause serious and fatal side effects. Because of this Black Box Warning, these drugs are no longer allowed to be sold over the counter, but must be by prescription only. The popular brand of the over-the-counter drug was Phospho-Soda manufactured by Fleet, however this drug was discontinued after the FDA's Black Box Warning.
Our sodium phosphate kidney injury lawyers are investigating cases nationwide of injuries due to Oral Sodium Phosphate.
These types of cases fall into the category of Product Liability. Specifically, we often look to see if the chemical and the design of the drugs themselves are defective. Essentially this means that if the drug itself causes the injury, it is thereby defective. This is often easy to convince a jury; however, the harder part is proving that the kidney failure itself is due to the medication. This often involves use of numerous experts. Often times it is common for us to spend in excess of $100,000.00 in expenses to even get the cases to trial. In our cases, we pay all these expenses up front for our clients so we never ask you to pay anything as we go along. More importantly, if we for some reason do not recover, we do not ask you to pay any attorney's fees nor any of the case expenses.
