What is valsartan?
Valsartan is a medication widely prescribed to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. However, recent findings have revealed that certain batches of Valsartan were contaminated with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), both recognized as probable human carcinogens. This contamination has raised serious health concerns and led to widespread product recalls. Individuals who have taken contaminated Valsartan and have been diagnosed with cancer are now seeking legal representation to pursue claims against the drug manufacturers.
Consulting with a lawyer about your experience with Valsartan can provide critical insight into your rights and options for seeking compensation through a Valsartan lawsuit. Compensation can cover medical expenses, loss of income, pain, and suffering and provide a measure of accountability for the harm caused by the contaminated medication.
Along with the above, Alexander Shunnarah Trial Attorneys can provide you with the following benefits:
