Introduction

Uloric (Febuxostat) is a drug commonly prescribed for the management of chronic hyperuricemia in adults with gout. Takeda Pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Uloric, may have failed to warn users of this medication of the increased risk of heart attacks and strokes, resulting in a Uloric lawsuit.

History of the Case

Our Uloric lawsuit attorneys are currently investigating potential claims for those who have experienced the following injuries after using the drug Uloric:

  • Heart Attack
  • Heart-related Death
  • Deep-vein Thrombosis
  • Angioplasty

Injuries Related to Product

Gout is a form of arthritis, commonly occurring in the feet and toes, which results from elevated uric acid levels in the bloodstream. This elevated level of uric acid in the body can lead to sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, and tenderness in the joints.

Uloric blocks the metabolic processes in the body that create uric acid, therefore relieving pain and inflammation in the joints. If you’ve experienced this issue, you may have a place in our Uloric lawsuit.
