What is Tepezza and Why the Lawsuits?
Tepezza (verteporfin) is a medication approved by the FDA to treat wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, numerous patients have reported serious and potentially life-altering side effects following its use. These side effects include, but are not limited to, vision loss, retinal detachment, and other severe ocular complications. The FDA has issued a black box warning regarding these risks, highlighting the potential for significant harm.
Possible Causes of Harm
Several factors may contribute to the adverse events linked to Tepezza. These include:
- Over-Treatment: Patients may have been prescribed Tepezza for a longer duration than medically recommended.
- Incorrect Dosage: Miscalculation of dosages or failure to monitor patients properly contributed to potential over-treatment.
- Lack of Warning: Critics argue that EMD Serono did not adequately warn patients and physicians about the severe risks associated with Tepezza.
- Retinal Detachment: A significant number of cases involved spontaneous retinal detachment, requiring immediate and often complex surgical intervention.
