- Ketek Live Damage Lawsuits in Arizona
At Phillips Law Group, we believe that the pharmaceutical industry has the responsibility to make sure that its products are not dangerous to the people who use them as prescribed. The Ketek injury lawyers at our Arizona offices can provide professional and knowledgeable representation to people experiencing serious side effects linked to this product.
Ketek is an oral antibiotic prescribed for mild or moderate cases of the respiratory infections: acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (AECB), acute bacterial sinusitis (ABS), and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). It comes in tablet form, taken once a day for about five to seven days. Many people have been treated with Ketek; it was developed as part of the effort to overcome the increasing resistance of many bacteria to the existing antibiotics.
Ketek and Liver Damage
Unfortunately, Ketek has been linked to serious liver damage. It is metabolized mainly in the liver. In January 2006 The Annals of Internal Medicine published a report of three cases of life-threatening liver toxicity. One of these patients died; another required a liver transplant.
If you suspect that youve suffered a Ketek-related injury, contact our injury lawyers in Arizona regarding your options.
Ketek was approved by the FDA in 2004 for the treatment of respiratory infections in adults. The FDA has now issued a public health advisory warning telling doctors that Ketek use should be discontinued in patients showing any signs of liver problems, and stating that people who develop any yellowing of their eyes or skin (jaundice) or blurry vision while theyre taking Ketek should see a doctor immediately. The FDA has begun an investigation of the serious potential side effects of Ketek.
A Congressional Request Regarding the Approval of Ketek
U.S. Congressmen Henry Waxman ( Calif.) and Edward Markey ( Mass.) sent a formal letter to the FDA questioning irregularities in the screening and approval process performed by the FDA prior to its approval of Ketek, which is manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Sanofi Aventis. In the letter, the congressmen note that among other serious matters, one of the investigators in a study of the safety of Keteks safety pleaded guilty to falsifying data.
The issues surrounding Ketek and its association with liver injury are complex. Our Ketek lawyers in the Arizona offices of Phillips Law Group can advise you of your options if youve taken Ketek and subsequently experienced liver problems.

Although my accident was fortunately not a major one, The Phillips Law Group AZ treated it as such. Their staff, specifically Mr Juan Roque was very professional, courteous and most importantly very informative. Mr Roque's attentive service was phenomenal and I highly recommend this firm!

I tried a few previous law firms and none would take my car accident case with confidence they could get my anything. Phillips law group took my case and although it took around 4 years to get this case settled as I was in treatment, they never let up with insurance adjusters and they got me as much money as possible. They worked hard for me and advocated for me. Shoutout to key individuals who worked my case nonstop of the years, Robert Ross & Jasmine, you are AMAZING!

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

Jeffrey Phillips is truly a brilliant attorney and businessman. I would not hesitate for a moment to contact him if I needed a personal injury attorney in Arizona, you would be fortunate to have him and his team. If you have a car accident, slip and fall in a store, or get punched in the face, call Phillips.

Two family members were in a bad wreck a couple of years ago, and as a result called Phillips Law to represent them. Montana Thompson was the attorney assigned to the case with the help of Nemo Farr as legal assistant. Mr. Thompson litigated a very generous settlement for both my stepdaughter and her son. Because my grandson is a minor, I decided to act as conservator for him to ensure the settlement was safe and secure. Montana helped with that process, but it was Nemo who went way above and beyond the call in finding a financial institution to use for the restricted account. There were some glitches in that process but Nemo helped navigate them with a calm expertise which belies his age. I would consider them both great representatives of the level of commitment to their clients and assets to their firm.

Working at Phillips Law Group has been great the 1st few years in I noticed how well organized and run this Firm was from Intake to Settlement the Client has the expertise of a staff member uniquely qualified for the particular stage of each Clients claim and all other Law firms try to emulate what we do here but none quite get it right because they lack one major component “Compassion”. We are a FAMILY not just a group of people/employees. We care deeply about each other and our clients’ we are considerate, compassionate and make sure that all our Clients’ needs are met from beginning to end. That’s because we treat our clients just like we treat each other. Nothing like walking through the office and saying Hello to fellow employees who always seem to be smiling. 16yrs in and it only seems to be getting better.
