Helping Victims Of Actemra Complications

Actemra was developed by Genentech and is used in the U.S. for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It has been on the market in the U.S. since 2010. It has also gained FDA approval for the treatment of Giant Cell Arteritis.

While many arthritis medications on the market have been known to carry risk of heart failure, stroke and lung disease, there was no warning issued for these risks with Actemra.

However, that does not mean there was no risk. In fact, reports have found that hundreds of people taking Actemra have died from these conditions, and untold more have been hurt. At Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP, our lawyers can help you determine if you or a loved one has a viable claim for compensation if Actemra has caused you harm.

If you are taking Actemra to treat your arthritis, you need to be on the lookout for the following potentially life-threatening complications and side effects:

• Stroke
• Heart attack and heart failure
• Lung disease
• Pancreatitis
• Gastrointestinal perforation
