Empagliflozin Amputation Threat
In February of 2017, the European Medical Association (EMA) broadcasted a warning to all Type-2 diabetes patients who were then taking any drug in the empagliflozin class. The EMA warned that studies proved canagliflozin increased the threat that a person battling Type-2 diabetes could lose a toe or foot due from infection. People living with diabetes live with the realization that they are susceptible to losing a limb because of infection. The studies showed that taking canagliflozin increased the chance that they could lose a part of their body to an infection.
The EMA took appropriate steps to warn patients about the potential for amputation. The EMA included empagliflozin and dapagliflozin in its warning. Consequently, the EMA mandated that the drug manufacturers must include a notice on their product labels that taking a gliflozin class of medications can lead to amputation of your toes or feet.
An empagliflozin lawyer with significant experience is necessary for success with your claim.
Every practicing lawyer theoretically has the capacity to represent any legal claim. Common sense tells us that proposition is simply not correct. Even lawyers who have experience representing plaintiffs in car accident cases, slip and fall cases, or other personal injury actions may not appreciate the complexity of filing a claim against an international pharmaceutical company or have the resources to push the case as far as justice requires. Furthermore, few law firms have litigated cases against major drug manufacturers. The major drug companies that produce the powerful drugs like Jardiance hire huge law firms who assign dozens of lawyers to defend their clients’ interests.

Furthermore, Parker Waichman LLP has the resources complex litigation such as defective drug cases demand if they are to be pursued with the zeal and vigor personal injury victims demand. They have taken on large and powerful law firms and fought tooth and nail to recover the damages to which their clients were entitled.
Qualifications you require for your empagliflozin amputation lawsuit.
In addition to the requisite legal experience and resources discussed above, the law firm you choose to represent you and your family with your empagliflozin claim must have a demonstrated track record of success with drug defect legal actions.
