Januvia Lawsuit

Those suffering from type 2 diabetes have filed lawsuits against makers of Januvia. In most claims, consumers blame Januvia for dangerous side effects, including pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.

Our team’s position is this:

• Januvia is a defective and dangerous drug
• The makers of Januvia did not properly test this medication
• Consumers were not warned of the increased risk for cancer and other side effects (see below)
• This drug’s safety was misrepresented in advertisements and marketing

About Januvia

Januvia is only available with a prescription, and doctors often use this drug to help patients control type 2 diabetes.

In May 2013, the FDA issued a warning linking Januvia and other similar drugs to an increased risk of serious complications and pancreatic diseases.

Januvia Side Effects & Injuries

Some of the most serious side effects and injuries mentioned in a Januvia Lawsuit include:

• Pancreatic Cancer – this type of cancer rarely has noticeable symptoms in the early stages, making it difficult to cure in time.
• Pancreatitis – research has suggested that Januvia can cause inflammation in the pancreas (pancreatitis), which can cause severe abdominal pain, fever, nausea, and rapid pulse.
• Persistent Abdominal Pain – some patients have reported suffering abdominal pain that was not directly related to pancreatitis. See a doctor immediately.
• Hypoglycemia – when medications don’t work properly, they can actually do more harm. Januvia is intended to lower a patient’s blood sugar, but if this level becomes too low, they can suffer hypoglycemia, which has several serious symptoms. If left untreated, this can be deadly.
• Heart Failure – According to research published in JACC Heart Failure, patients taking Januvia experienced an 84% increase in ER visits for heart failure.
