PremPro is the trade name for a combination of hormones, primarily estrogen, used in the treatment of menopause and other symptomatic diseases of women caused by hormone imbalances. PremPro is specifically a combination of estrogen and other hormones that is taken from horses and modified for use in humans. PremPro has been linked to a number of side effects in patients who use it, however, and some of these side effects can have deadly consequences.

PremPro recall attorneys are lawyers who deal with victims of PremPro usage and those who have suffered losses from this medication. PremPro recall lawyers are currently pursuing litigation in several states to hold the manufacturer of PremPro, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, accountable for these damages.

Research that linked PremPro and other hormone replacements to side effect issues began as early as 1975. Some of these studies showed a substantial increase in the risk of endometrial cancer among women who used hormone replacement therapy. These findings led the Food and Drug Administration to order warning labels to be included in the packaging with these drugs. The Women’s Health Initiative sponsored a study by the National Institute of Health which suggested that women taking hormone replacement therapy were at an increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, blood clots, and various forms of cancer, including breast cancer.

PremPro recall lawyers have filed over 13,000 suits since 2002. However, the cases have been dismissed in many instances due to private settlements with victims. Only two cases have currently gone to trial; both have been settled for undisclosed amounts of millions of dollars in both actual and punitive damages. However, these verdicts are currently under appeal.

In the meantime, it is important for women who have suffered debilitating side effects from PremPro usage to gather facts about the possibility of litigation against Wyeth for these damages. Even if you ultimately decide not to file a lawsuit, you owe it to yourself to do everything possible to find out what your case is truly worth. Depending on the amount of your damages, your claim could be worth far more than you think. It is important to make an informed decision about whether you want to pursue damages in your case, and it is not possible to do this without accurate information.

A professional personal injury lawyer will listen to you and help you decide how much your case is worth and what steps you should take to pursue damages.
