Propulsid Class Action Lawsuits Information
Propulsid was a heartburn medicine approved in 1993 only for
severe nighttime heartburn experienced by adult patients with gastroesophageal
reflux disease. Around thirty million Americans used Propulsid prior to its
March 2000 withdrawal. Cardiac problems had been associated to Propulsid early
on and the FDA strengthened the drug's label for Propulsid a couple times before
finally removing it from the market. The label changes were intended to
emphasize the Propulsid risk factors.
Propulsid Side Effects
At the time of the Propulsid recall the drug had been
associated with 341 reports of heart rhythm abnormalities, including 80 reports
of deaths. These Propulsid reports were including only reported adverse effects
as of December 31, 1999.
