If you or a loved one were prescribed Xeljanz or Xeljanz XR and suffered any injuries or damages, you may be entitled to financial compensation through a Xeljanz lawsuit.
Throughout the country, Pfizer Inc. is being hit with lawsuits regarding its deceptive marketing and faulty design of the arthritis medication.
Recent Xeljanz lawsuits have alleged that Pfizer Inc., the manufacturer of Xeljanz/Xeljanz XR, failed to report significant adverse events related to Xeljanz to the FDA and excluded data from clinical trials display better results.
They argue that Pfizer Inc. should be held accountable for its failure to warn users by covering the costs of injuries that occurred due to its negligence.
Xeljanz lawsuits also aim to pin blame on Pfizer for the design of the defective product, making the manufacturer liable for injuries caused by the design.
If you or a loved one was prescribed Xeljanz to treat your arthritis and were subsequently diagnosed with cancer, you may qualify to participate in the Xeljanz lawsuit.

Xeljanz (tofacitinib) is an oral prescription medication called a Janus kinase inhibitor used to treat:
Adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis in whom methotrexate did not work well or cannot be tolerated.
Adults with active psoriatic arthritis in which methotrexate or other similar medicines called nonbiologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) did not work well or cannot be tolerated.
Adults with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis when medicines called tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers did not work well or cannot be tolerated.
In 2019, the FDA released a safety alert about an increased risk of blood clots and death.
If you or a loved one, have suffered any personal injuries after taking Xeljanz or Xeljanz XR, you may be eligible to file a Xeljanz lawsuit.
Xeljanz and Xeljanz XR have been linked to several different injuries, some more severe than others.
Some of the more significant adverse effects of the medication are listed below.
If you have suffered any injuries or worsened health conditions after taking the drug, seek medical attention and contact a Xeljanz lawyer.
The four (4) most severe risks and injuries linked to patients who took Xeljanz are:
1. Blood Clots in Lungs
Blood clots in the lungs have happened more often in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are 50 years of age and older with at least one heart disease risk factor taking a higher than the recommended dose of Xeljanz/Xeljanz XR.
Blood clots located in the lungs have also happened in patients with ulcerative colitis and some people have died from these clots.
2. Pulmonary Embolisms
Pulmonary embolisms are dangerous blood clots that travel to the lungs.
Similar to blood clots in the lungs, pulmonary embolisms have happened more often in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who are at least 50 years old who have an increased cardiovascular risk factor, and are taking a higher than the recommended dose.
3. Liver Damage
Liver damage has been linked as a side effect to Xeljanz through multiple clinical studies.
Research is providing insight into the risks of elevated liver enzyme levels and the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
4. Cancer
Xeljanz/Xeljanz XR may increase your risk of certain cancer by changing the way your immune system works.
People who are taking the higher doses of Xeljanz (10 mg twice daily) or Xeljanz XR (22 mg once per day) have a higher risk of skin cancers.
The post-marketing FDA-mandated clinical trial’s initial results display an increase in occurrences of cancer in rheumatoid arthritis patients treated with both doses of Xeljanz compared to patients treated with a TNF inhibitor.
Xeljanz Cancer Risks
Xeljanz has not been strictly associated with one type of cancer, but has been linked to numerous different types, including:
Lung Cancer
Breast Cancer
Lymphoma
Gastric Cancer
Melanoma
Prostate Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Xeljanz Black-Box Warning
Recently, the FDA approved the highest level “black box” warning to be included on the packaging of Xeljanz and Xeljanz XR that will highlight an increased risk of blood clots and death.
The warning comes after the FDA’s review of preliminary results from ongoing safety trials.
Consumer Damages
Compensatory damages are meant to help the plaintiff make up the financial losses that occurred as a result of their injury that was caused by another party’s negligence.
A full list of damages can be found on our website, but five (5) of the more common damages that you can sue for in a Xeljanz lawsuit are:
1. Medical Expenses
Medical expenses are considered any costs related to your injury, including:
Bills from doctors
Hospitals
Ambulances
Rehabilitation
Pharmaceutical costs
And more
The amount of compensation awarded is based on the receipts provided by the plaintiff.
2. Lost Wages
Lost wages include the total expected loss of income you incur because you are unable to work due to the injury.
People on unemployment can still sue for lost wages if they are able to prove that they could have been earning money during the recovery period.
3. Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering damages are self-explanatory.
They are damages in which compensation is awarded for the actual pain and suffering caused by an injury.
The amount of compensation largely depends on the severity and length of the injury.
4. Loss of Consortium
Marriage life can be affected by a life-altering injury.
The uninjured spouse can file a loss of consortium claim regarding the loss of affection, social skills, companionship, and more.
The damages of these claims are based on both spouses’ prior life expectancies and their marriage stability prior to the incident.
5. Punitive Damages
Punitive damages, also called exemplary damages, often occur when a company has been negligent, and people are harmed as a result of that negligence.
They are designed as a monetary way to penalize the defendant for their actions.
Filing a Xeljanz Cancer Lawsuit
The civil lawsuit process is lengthy and full of legal jargon that can be hard to understand without the help of an experienced legal attorney at your side.
The first step in filing a Xeljanz cancer lawsuit is to find a personal injury attorney to represent you in court.
You should rest assured that your legal representative has extensive knowledge of the legal system as well as a successful history of lawsuits.
One of the most important steps in any personal injury lawsuit is being able to gather evidence to prove the liability of another party and the attempt you made to mitigate your injuries.
You may be awarded a significantly higher amount of compensation if you can demonstrate that the injury was not your fault and that you made an effort to treat it to the best of your ability.
