LOCAL MASS TORT ATTORNEYS READY TO HELP VICTIMS OF ABILIFY SIDE EFFECTS
What Are the Side Effects of Using Abilify? What Should I Look For?
Abilify, is a mass tort that has brought about hundreds of lawsuits against Bristol-Myers Squibb, and it’s marketing partner, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., claiming that these companies were all aware of the defects in Abilify, that cause/caused compulsive behavior(s), but they chose to not issue any type of warning to protect consumers. Allegations also arose that these companies in large part did not properly test Abilify, and exaggerated the benefits, which prompted physicians to prescribe the drug to their patients for conditions that it may or may not have helped with.
Currently, there are over 350 lawsuits in the United States that claim Abilify causes compulsive gambling habits which turned out to be financially disastrous for any victims involved.
In May of 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decided to issue a warning about impulse-control problems in those who took various different forms of Abilify. The FDA said that patients might experience uncontrollable urges to ‘gamble, eat, shop and have sex’.
