Meridia Lawsuits--Attorney


In January 2010, the FDA said it found an increase in heart attacks and strokes in people who were on the anti-obesity medication, MERIDIA. The FDA told the drug maker to ad a warning to its label about the chance of having a stroke or heart attack. The FDA also said it would be looking into whether the alleged benefits of the drug outweigh any health dangers caused by the drug. A number of lawsuits have been commenced around the country, brought on behalf of people who suffered heart attacks or strokes while on MERIDIA. If you or a loved one suffered a heart attack or stroke while on Meridia, you should contact a MERIDIA ATTORNEY to find out your legal rights.

Poli-Grip and Fixodent Zinc Poisoning

DENTURE CREAM MAY CAUSE ZINC POISONING

Over 30 million people wear dentures in the United States. Apparently, several types of denture cream products, including POLI-GRIP and FIXODENT, may pose a hazard to denture wearers. Denture cream containing zinc may create a copper deficiency in a person's body. If a denture wearer is suffering from unexplained weakness, numbness, loss of sensation or other nerve symptoms, or has been diagnosed with a condition called neuropathy, denture cream zinc may be the cause of the symptoms and health problems. Blood tests can determine whether a denture wearer with nerve problems has a zinc overdose.

Studies indicate that zinc poisoning or zinc overdose may result from the use of denture creams which contain zinc, including POLI-GRIP and FIXODENT. A recent study of zinc overdose, reported in the Journal “Neurology,” found that denture cream contains zinc, and chronic excessive use may result in copper deficiency and neurological disease. Apparently, stopping the use of denture cream with zinc results in improvement in most patients, but in some patients the relief was only mild.

Contact a Fargo denture cream attorney for information in regard to your legal rights.
