Our Lawyers are handling Adderall Lawsuits
Who
should your Adderall lawyer hold responsible for an Adderall heart damage,
stroke, or sudden death lawsuit?
The manufacturer of Adderall is Shire Pharmaceuticals Group plc and their
headquarters is located in Pennsylvania. Founded in 1986, the revenues for 2004
were $1,363.2 million with an operating income of $446.4 million. From 2003 to
2004, revenues increased 13 percent. They claim that their mission is to develop
and market medicines that improve the quality of life for patients and their
caregivers.
Health Canada has suspended marketing of Adderall XR (extended release) from the
Canadian market due to concern about reports of sudden unexplained death (SUD)
in children taking Adderall and Adderall XR. SUD has been associated with and
reported in children with underlying cardiac abnormalities taking recommended
doses of amphetamines, including Adderall and Adderall XR. Additionally, a very
small number of cases of SUD have been reported in children without structural
cardiac abnormalities who are taking Adderall.
At this time, the FDA cannot conclude that recommended doses of Adderall can
cause SUD, but is continuing to evaluate these data. How many children must have
adverse affects before the FDA takes action? Although the FDA is to blame for
not acting in a responsible manner and applying warning labels or taking
Adderall off the market like Health Canada has – the FDA is so far -- exempt of
pharmaceutical lawsuits.
It’s a common occurrence for the FDA to be in the pocket of pharmaceutical
giants. Shire Pharmaceuticals is no different than other pharmaceutical
companies. They have an army of highly paid lobbyists that put pressure on the
federal government while donating riches to Congress and the oval office. Who
can resist? Money, especially millions of dollars, talks.
Health Canada is not affected by big business contributions and can act
accordingly on behalf of the healthcare for its Canadian patients.
If you or your child has developed any of the diminishing quality-of-life
symptoms associated with Adderall, talk to your doctor immediately and
contact an expert Adderall lawyer for a free inquiry. You may be eligible for an
Adderall lawsuit.
