Onglyza is a medication used to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes. It works by triggering the pancreases’ insulin production. But did you know that the drug may come with risks such as pancreatic cancer, thyroid cancer, and heart failure? That’s why Onglyza lawsuits are currently being investigated across the country. You could be entitled to financial compensation.
Former Onglyza users are filing lawsuits against the drug’s manufacturer, Bristol-Myers Squibb, because the company:
- Manufactured a dangerous medication
- Failed to properly warn patients and the medical community about the possible dangers
- Improperly marketed the drug
- Was aware of the dangers but sold the medication anyway
Filing an Onglyza lawsuit will not only help you get the compensation you rightly deserve, but it will also hold the manufacturer accountable for their wrongdoing. If you, or someone you love, were harmed by Onglyza , you could be eligible for compensation for a number of things, including:
- Past, current, and future medical costs
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Wrongful death
- Permanent injury
Serious side effects associated with Onglyza include:
- Pancreatic cancer
- Thyroid cancer
