Zithromax (Z-Pak) linked to liver failure and other serious complications

October 3rd, 2013

Hissey Kientz LLP is announcing a new practice area for individuals suffering from severe liver side effects and other complications after taking Zithromax, more commonly known as Z-Pak. Zithromax is a popular antibiotic manufactured by Pfizer and prescribed for treatment of mild to moderate infections.

Zithromax users have reported experiencing liver damage including elevated liver enzymes, jaundice and liver failure. Some patients that have experienced Z-Pak liver complications have undergone liver transplant surgery. Zithromax liver damage has even led to death.

Zithromax studies have also linked the antibiotic to Stevens Johnson Syndrome, a  serious rash that affects the skin and mucous membranes. Stevens Johnson Syndrome can lead to permanent injuries including blindness, lung damage and damage to the esophagus and mucous membranes.

If you or a loved one used Z-Pak and experienced liver failure or other complications, contact the lawyers at Hissey Kientz, LLP to learn more about your legal rights. You can reach us by calling toll-free at 8-555-HELPYOU, or by filling out the free case evaluation form to the right of this page.
