Belviq Lawsuit Attorneys
Some people struggling with their weight rely on medications to manage their appetite. One of those medications has been linked to cancer and, as of February 2020, removed from the market at the request of the Food and Drug Administration.
Ferrer Poirot Feller Daniel is accepting inquiries from people who have been diagnosed with cancer after taking Belviq, also known as lorcaserin. We want to hold the maker of Belviq, Eisai Inc. responsible for the suffering its drug has caused users.
Why Belviq is a Major Health Concern for Users
Clinical trials have established a link between Belviq and several types of cancer, especially pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers. Concerns about this link prompted the FDA to recall Belviq and Belviq XR in February 2020.
The FDA says that the risks of lorcaserin outweigh the weight management benefits. Though Eisai has yet to acknowledge the risk-benefit opinion of the FDA, it has complied with the FDA’s request to pull the drug.
Meanwhile, users of Belviq are understandably concerned about their health. For anyone suffering from cancer after taking lorcaserin, our attorneys are accepting calls about legal action against Esai Inc.
