What is Victoza?
Victoza falls under the umbrella of incretin mimetics, a class of drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes that works by boosting insulin production in the pancreas, lowering the patient’s blood sugar levels.
Victoza, which is manufactured by Novo Nordisk, was first approved for the market in 2010.
It quickly became one of the most popular type-2 diabetes treatments.
However, more recently Victoza has faced criticisms over its dangerous side effects, which Novo Nordisk failed to warn consumers about.
As a result, a number of Victoza lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturer on behalf of individuals who were injured by Victoza.
If you or a loved one suffered a pancreatic-related injury subsequent to taking Victoza, you may qualify to participate in a Victoza lawsuit.
Contact a Victoza injury lawyer at TorHoerman Law to discuss your legal options today.
Byetta (exenatide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics the effect of glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone that increases insulin production when blood sugar is high. Byetta is administered as a twice-daily injection.
Bydureon is also a GLP-1 receptor agonist and contains the same main ingredient as Byetta – exenatide. Bydureon is a longer-lasting version of Byetta, requiring a once-a-week injection.
Rather than an injection, Januvia (sitagliptin) is a once-daily pill used to lower blood glucose levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Januvia helps to increase the insulin produced by the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high and helps to reduce the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Also a pill, Janumet is a combination drug – it combines sitagliptin and metformin into a single pill.
What are the Dangerous Side Effects of Victoza?
There are a number of adverse health risks associated with Victoza that are not mentioned on the Victoza warning label.
Victoza Risks and Injuries
Researchers have linked Victoza to a number of dangerous and potentially life-threatening side effects. These side effects were not included on the original Victoza warning label and the public has now been made aware of these side effects by researchers and through drug safety communications.
Victoza Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Cancer
Following a number of concerning reports linking Victoza to pancreatitis, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted an investigation into Victoza’s health risks in 2013. The FDA found that pancreatitis was more likely to occur in patients using Victoza than in patients using any other type-2 diabetes medication. As a result, the FDA mandated a black box warning making consumers aware of Victoza’s increased risk of pancreatitis. Other research and studies have shown that this form of type-2 diabetic treatment may be linked to pancreatic cancer. In a recent clinical trial, 13 patients were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer while only 5 patients taking the placebo were diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Victoza Thyroid Cancer
Following a number of concerning reports linking Victoza to thyroid cancer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated a black box warning for the drug, the strongest warning a drug can carry. Researchers found an increased risk of tumors — sometimes cancerous — developing in the thyroid glands of rats and mice.
If you are taking Victoza and have developed pancreatic cancer, pancreatitis, or thyroid cancer, you should stop taking Victoza and talk to your doctor Right away. If you have experienced any pancreatic injuries, contact an experienced Victoza injury lawyer to discuss your legal options, including filing a Victoza lawsuit.
If you had previously taken Victoza and have developed pancreatic cancer or pancreatitis, you should contact an experienced Victoza lawyer right away.
Victoza Lawsuit
Victoza injury lawsuits have been filed across the country on behalf of individuals who were prescribed Victoza and subsequently suffered pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer.
There is currently a multidistrict litigation (MDL) filed against Novo Nordisk on behalf of patients injured by Victoza and similar incretin mimetics. The MDL is a conglomeration of similar claims made against Victoza. It is filed in the federal court of California. There are other individual Victoza lawsuits filed against Novo Nordisk, most of which are still pending in state and federal courts.
Victoza is considered a bad drug and falls under product liability litigation-type of personal injury law.
The Victoza lawsuit plaintiffs claim that Novo Nordisk failed to warn consumers of the potential health risks associated with Victoza including pancreatitis & pancreatic cancer.
Filing a Victoza Lawsuit
If you choose to file a lawsuit, you will need to prove the following information in order to have a strong case:
You had previously been prescribed Victoza for treating your type-2 diabetes.
You stopped taking Victoza after being made aware of the adverse side effects.
You developed acute pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer after taking Victoza.
It is very important to the success of your lawsuit that you mitigate any further injury – if you have suffered pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer, you must also seek proper medical treatment right away and ask your doctor if you should continue to take Victoza.
Once you have sought proper medical treatment, you should hire a personal injury lawyer to represent you as your Victoza injury lawyer. Your state’s statute of limitations bars you from taking legal action after an allotted amount of time following your injury, so do not wait to seek legal aid from an experienced Victoza injury lawyer.
Once you have hired a Victoza injury lawyer, you should familiarize yourself with the civil litigation process, so that you are aware of the steps involved in a Victoza lawsuit.
Your Victoza injury lawyer will help you gather evidence to build a strong argument against the party that holds liabilityfor your injuries – the manufacturer.
Using the evidence you gather, your Victoza injury lawyer will work to gain you compensation for the damages that you incurred as a result of your injuries.
You can receive compensation out-of-court in a settlement, or through a verdict in a Victoza lawsuit trial.
