Visitors are invited to “Like” the AndroGel lawsuit page to help spread the word about this important legal and public health issue.
AndroGel is a topical medication approved to treat hypogonadism (low testosterone) in men who suffer from the condition due to an underlying medical issue. According to court documents, more than 30 AndroGel lawsuits have been filed in courts around the country on behalf of men who allegedly suffered heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and other cardiovascular problems due to their use of the medication. On March 28, 2014, plaintiffs filed a brief with the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation requesting that all federal AndroGel lawsuits be consolidated and transferred to a single judge in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois. Among other things, the brief asserted that the consolidation of the cases is warranted, as hundreds of similar AndroGel lawsuits could ultimately be filed in U.S. Courts. (In Re: AndroGel Product Liability Litigation, MDL Docket No. 36 ).
On January 31, 2014, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) announced it had launched a safety review of drugs like AndroGel, after two studies indicated that testosterone therapy might increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and death in older men or men with pre-existing heart problems. According to court documents, plaintiffs in AndroGel lawsuits claim that the drug was wrongly marketed as being safe and effective, and accuse AbbVie Inc. of engaging in an aggressive marketing campaign that prompted men to seek low testosterone therapy to alleviate low libido, fatigue and other issues associated with aging. They further allege that the company’s AndroGel marketing tactics resulted in many men being prescribed AndroGel without an actual medical diagnosis of low testosterone.
