Chantix Heart Attack Lawsuits
Plaintiffs' lawyers have been saying Chantix can cause heart attacks for years. Taking its time, the FDA agreed today, warning that Chantix users with a history of heart attack or stroke who use Chantix may increase their risk of a second heart attack or new onset peripheral vascular disease.
The FDA says that a new warning will be added to Chantix's label. The new warning is weak: there is a small, but measurable increase in the risk of cardiovascular events including nonfatal myocardial infarction, angina, and need for coronary revascularization. As day follows night, this warning will get stronger over time. Can't we just cut to the chase now?
Okay, so Chantix heart attack lawsuits are going to be the next big thing. Maybe. Maybe not. There will be some viable Chantix lawsuits for their failure to warn but it is going to be hard to prove specific causation compared to the Chantix suicide lawsuits.
