Meridia Recall Lawyers at Morgan and Morgan Available to Review Heart Attack, Stroke Claims from Meridia Users

The Meridia recall lawyers at Morgan and Morgan are available to review claims on behalf of Meridia users who have suffered a heart attack or stroke. Meridia has been linked to an increased risk of serious heart problems, and as of Oct. 8, has been withdrawn from the U.S. market. The FDA announced the Meridia recall after the manufacturer of the prescription weight loss drug, Abbott Laboratories, agreed to pull the drug off the market. If you or a loved one has suffered a heart attack, stroke, or other serious Meridia side effect, visit http://www.forthepeople.com/meridia-recall-lawyers--11-2602.html to learn more about the Meridia recall and how it may affect your potential for legal recourse.  

In Nov. 2009, the FDA began a safety review to examine the side effects of Meridia after a study linked the weight loss drug to an increased risk of heart problems. The study, known as SCOUT, revealed a 16% increase in the risk of heart problems, including stroke, heart attack, resuscitated cardiac arrest and death, in patients receiving Meridia compared with those given the placebo. Additionally, the study revealed only a small difference in weight loss between the two groups. The Meridia heart problems, combined with the drug’s minimal weight loss benefits, prompted the FDA to request a Meridia recall. 

Due to the Meridia recall, patients who suffered a heart attack or stroke while taking the drug may be able to participate in a Meridia lawsuit.
