Multaq, also known as dronedarone, is a drug manufactured by Sanofi-Aventis that is prescribed to treat persons with cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat. Multaq was approved by the FDA in July, 2009 to reduce the risk of cardiovascular hospitalization in patients who have episodes of irregular heart rhythms. Even before the drug was approved by the FDA, questions were raised regarding Multaq’s safety. A 2005 clinical trial showed that Multaq doubled the risk of death and could actually worsen existing heart failure. A November 2010 report published by the non-profit Institute for Safe Medication Practices described a number of other injuries associated with the use of Multaq, including both liver damage and heart complications involving left ventricle dysfunction and ventricular tachycardia. In January, 2011 the FDA mandated that a warning be added to Multaq’s label after Sanofi-Aventis reported that two patients on the drug experienced liver failure. Most recently, an FDA Safety Announcement of July 21, 2011 warned that Multaq may increase the incidence of several cardiovascular problems including heart failure, heart attack, stroke and systemic embolism.

If you think you or a loved one may have suffered an injury or damages as a result of taking Multaq, you owe it to yourself to speak to an experienced pharmaceutical or drug attorney to see if you have a case and to discuss the possibility of bringing a lawsuit to recover for your damages and injuries. The attorney will be able to ascertain if you have a claim for which a lawsuit can be pursued and whether the case and lawsuit can be brought to a successful settlement, verdict, award or other recovery, and the experienced lawyer will be able to advise you on any deadlines for bringing your legal claim for damages. Please contact the law firm of Ashcraft & Gerel, LLP to discuss your case with an experienced pharmaceutical or drug lawyer in our Drug Litigation Department.
