New York Dangerous Drugs Attorney

Despite regulations that should prevent their proliferation, drugs with dangerous side effects continue to be made available and approved by the FDA. At Kramer & Dunleavy, LLP, we represent the victims of dangerous drugs and their families.

Our dangerous drugs attorneys advocate for the rights of women and families in product liability lawsuits related to defective drugs with dangerous or fatal side effects. Located conveniently near Manhattan, our law firm represents clients throughout New York in cases involving any of the following:

Birth control side effects: Users of the Ortho-Evra control patch are at a considerably greater risk of suffering a blood clot (pulmonary embolism) compared to women who are taking birth control pills.

Drugs to induce labor: Pitocin/Cytotec - These drugs accelerate labor and, if used improperly, can cause a ruptured uterus.

Pain killers: Vioxx - The prescription painkiller Vioxx (Rofecoxib) has been recalled from the marketplace after data from a clinical trial indicated that those taking Vioxx had double the risk of a heart attack, stroke, or sudden death as those taking a placebo. If you or your loved ones have used Vioxx or other prescription drugs for pain and suffered a heart attack, stroke, or death, please call Kramer & Dunleavy today.

Drugs used in Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): HRT drugs are known to cause breast cancer. If you or your loved ones have used HRT drugs and have or had breast cancer, please contact us at 1-877-WOMAN-LAW. HRT drugs known to have dangerous side effects include:

• Prempro
• Premarin
• Provera

Leaders in Prempro and Premarin Defective Drug Litigation

Currently, we are representing many women who, without other risk factors, developed breast cancer after being prescribed a course of HRT using the dangerous drugs Prempro or Premarin. We commenced the first action in New York State on Prempro.

Prempro has been linked to serious side effects including breast cancer, stroke, blood clots, and cardiovascular disease. These alarming side effects were discovered during a study by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which is part of the National Institutes of Health. The study, originally planned to last eight years, ended after only five years when researchers determined the side effects of Prempro were so severe they could not continue to give patients the dangerous drug.

According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute study, women that took Prempro were more likely to develop serious problems compared to those in the placebo group.

Women who took Prempro have a significantly higher chance of developing the following dangerous or life-threatening side effects:

• 26% increase in breast cancer
• 41% increase in strokes
• 100% increase in blood clots
• 22% increase in incidents of cardiovascular disease
