New York Duract Side Effect Attorneys
In 1998 Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories enacted a voluntary recall of Duract a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic which was used to alleviate severe pain. The drug had been introduced to consumers in 1997 to be used for short term pain management for up to ten days. Duract was approved by the Federal and Drug Administration (FDA) only for short term use, and was not recommended for longer than ten days.
Serious health problems have been associated with long term use of Duract. People who have used Duract for a long period of time may have increased liver enzymes, which may lead to hepatitis or liver failure. Many people who used Duract have died while others have experienced liver problems, undergone liver transplants, and suffered from other health problems. The following are symptoms of liver problems:
- Dark coloration of the urine
- Yellow coloration to the whites of the eyes
- Pain on the right side below the rib cage
- Lack of appetite
- Yellow coloration of the skin
- Nausea
- Vomiting
