If you have been injured, you need to seek immediate legal and medical help from a qualified Gardasil Lawyer for help with Gardasil damages lawsuits.
Cervical cancer is a real and serious threat to women everywhere in the world, and drug companies have spent years and billions of dollars in research and development in an attempt to formulate medications that not only treat this disease but also prevent it from forming in females. One company that pursued this was Merck & Co., but unfortunately, problems arose, and Gardasil damages lawsuits followed.
A promising benchmark in this research was achieved in recent years when researchers identified a virus, known as human papillomavirus, or HPV, which has been linked to the development of cervical cancer. As a result, drug companies began to succeed in putting together formulas that were designed to prevent the infestation of this virus in females.
One such company was Merck & Co., one of the true titans of the corporate pharmaceutical industry. Merck applied for and received approval for the marketing and distribution of Gardasil from the FDA in 2006, and it enjoyed immediate success in terms of its market penetration on the heels of a massive marketing campaign.
Merck & Co Profits from Gardasil
The SEC has reported that Gardasil generated approximately $1.5 billion in annual revenue for Merck & Co., and that seems quite realistic given the volume at which the drug was sold and the cost associated with each administration of the drug. Patients who receive this medication need to have an average of three injections completed over the course of several weeks, and the average cost for this treatment is estimated to be an average of $360.
At the time that several reports regarding the drug began to surface, additional estimates showed that approximately 8 million women in the United States alone received this treatment, and it should also be noted that Gardasil was also marketed across the entire world. The marketing campaign featured a high volume of television advertisements and a run of commercials that ran in movie theaters.
Gardasil Problems
Despite this huge amount of success that Merck & Co. enjoyed in a business sense, it wasn’t long before reports of serious adverse effects from taking this drug began to emerge. These reports consisted of reactions that were not only extremely serious in nature, but in 18 cases they were deadly. Below is a list of the most common adverse effects associated with the use of Gardasil:
- Seizures
- Guillain-Barre Syndrome
- Spontaneous abortion
- Coma
- Convulsions
- Anaphylactic shock
- Paralysis
- Optic lesions
- Death
Aside from the 18 deaths reported to this point, there are two additional factors that should be considered. One is that there were also 8,000 reports of symptoms along the lines of those above reported by women of all ages, and that brings this issue to the second point worth considering females of all ages are potentially at risk.
Gardasil Death from the Injections
Of those that died after taking Gardasil, the youngest was only 11 years old, and she died of a sudden heart attack. Others were also teenagers, and several doctors have come out and stated that there are no reasons for girls this young to be taking this drug. If you have been injured, you need to seek immediate legal and medical help from a qualified Gardasil Lawyer for help with Gardasil damages lawsuits.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!
