ORTHO EVRA PATCH - The FDA has released information suggesting that combination hormonal contraceptives, specifically the Ortho Evra Patch, are associated with a number of health risks including strokes, blood clots, heart attacks, myocardial infarction, thromboembolism, hepatic neoplasia, and gallbladder disease.  In addition, the FDA reports that women previously diagnosed with hypertension, hyperlipidemias, obesity, or diabetes may experience more serious side effects as a result of the patch.  

The strokes suffered, or reported, have been difficult to detect; therefore, you should become educated on the signs and symptoms of a stroke.  If you have suffered any of the foregoing injuries while prescribed Ortho Evra, you should consult with an attorney.

Ortho Evra was aggressively marketed as a safe alternative to oral contraceptives, yet the manufacturers,  Ortho McNeil Pharmaceuticals, a division of Johnson & Johnson, knew this was not the case.  Thanks to a whistleblower, it is now known that the serious side effects associated with Ortho Evra were well-known by the company, but they failed to put any safety warnings on the label.  As a result, 4 million women have been exposed to a patch that can cause them serious harm.

The negligence exhibited by these pharmaceutical companies has led thousands of innocent people to experience serious and often fatal reactions. We intend to hold them accountable for their reckless behavior.

Unsafe drug cases are complex and costly to litigate. Experienced representation is essential, and that is exactly what we help provide.
