Bronx Dangerous Weight Loss Drug Injury Lawyer
Representing Victims of Dangerous Weight Loss Drugs in the Bronx
Weight loss medications are often marketed as quick solutions for obesity and related health concerns—but many of these drugs come with serious, and sometimes life-threatening, risks. Across the U.S., individuals are filing lawsuits against drug manufacturers for health complications caused by defective weight loss drugs, alleging that pharmaceutical companies failed to warn patients about the dangers of their products.
At Greenstein & Pittari, LLP, our Bronx dangerous weight loss drug injury lawyers represent clients harmed by dangerous drugs. If you or a loved one experienced serious health complications, including stomach paralysis, cardiovascular risks, or even cancer after using weight loss medications, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
Common Health Risks from Weight Loss Drugs
Many weight loss drugs have been linked to serious complications that outweigh their intended benefits. Patients have suffered injuries due to:
- Stomach paralysis (gastroparesis)
- Heart attack, stroke, and blood clots
- Pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer, and other forms of cancer
- Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia
- Allergic reactions or internal bleeding
- Severe gastrointestinal distress or intestinal blockages
These conditions may result in hospitalization, long-term health problems, or even death. In many cases, lawsuits allege that pharmaceutical companies and drug manufacturers ignored or downplayed these risks to maximize profits.
Examples of Dangerous Weight Loss Drugs
Some weight loss drugs—often prescribed off-label or in combination with diabetes medications—are currently facing lawsuits for their side effects. These include:
- Drugs used for weight management in type 2 diabetes patients
- Popular heartburn medication with off-label weight loss use
- Injections that impact digestive motility, potentially causing stomach paralysis
- Products that led to weight gain or cardiovascular damage rather than improvement
Many of these drugs were not manufactured properly, lacked sufficient clinical testing, or were pushed to market despite inadequate warnings.
