Victoza

Author: Karina Neves
Posted on Aug 1, 2013 in bad-drug-blog

Victoza, an injectable medication used to treat type-2 diabetes by releasing insulin and regulating glucose levels. This drug was released by Novo Nordisk and approved by the FDA on January, 25, 2010. In 2012, the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen began petitioning to the FDA, calling for an immediate ban on Victoza due to its dangerous side effects. Since then, Victoza along with similar diabetes drugs such as Byetta and Januvia, has been undergoing over 50 lawsuits for allegedly causing pancreatic cancer in many patients.

The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) met on July 25, 2013 to discuss the possibility of consolidating litigation against Victoza, Januvia/Janumet and Byetta. Results from the hearing are still pending and likely will not be released until mid to late August. If the movement for a consolidation passes, it will benefit plaintiffs and courts alike by improving time-efficiency and reducing repetitive court hearings.

Victoza has been known to cause dangerous and potentially fatal conditions including:

Pancreatitis
Thyroid Cancer
Hypoglycemia
Gastroparesis
Kidney Failure
Anemia
