Losartan Class Action Lawsuit Seeks Compensation for Buyers of Recalled Drugs

No one will give me answers to the extent of the damage or the length it will take to fully recover if that's even an option. I had 8 subsequent falls in less than a month which led to a spinal but injury that required surgery but because of of this damn injury they are blaming my injury as the cause of my issues. This drug is dangerous and I don't know why it's still allowed to be sold. I think I would have died of I hadn't figured out the cause of my issues myself. I ran the full gamit of side effects. But it wasn't until they upped my dose that I was able to figure it out. All the doctors wrote it off as progression of my diabetic neuropathy. Has anyone had this severe reaction any encouraging information would be greatly appreciated. I have been dealing with this since mid February of this year and I was on the drug for a little over 2 years.

  My wife took Losartan for quite a number of years, if you need the exact number I would have to contact her primary care doctor. She suffered in pain for a long time and I took her to many different doctors before we found out she had pancreatic cancer. She passed away June 2020.

I'm hungry even when full but at the same time I'm in a whole lot of pain in the upper left quadrant of my stomach in my intestines days on end now and I stopped taking it yesterday. I'm still in pain today. Nausea, Vomiting,tired. I suppose some of my skin itching too. The stomach issues are so horrible I wouldn't wish them on an enemy. I found out today when I wentnto my doctor to discuss my symptoms that I'm one of several people who have complained to her about Losartan over the last several weeks and Now I'm researching and this is one of the first places I have landed. I wasn't aware of any Losartan recall either.

Around September of 2019, he was diagnosed with a malignant form of cancer of or near his pancreas. He had made some dietary changes and later tests gave an "all clear". He had gallbladder disease which necessitated subsequent removal. He had also been dealing with an unexplainable blood platelet disorder for 4-5 years which I strongly suspect was caused by Losartan after doing research and finding others who had the same experience. Now, in light of my dad's recent diagnosis and untimely passing, I now strongly suspect that these medication(s) may have been major contributing factors in causing him health problems including his leukemia. Please, if you know anybody who is on this medication, they need to safely transition off and find something that isn't worse than the issue they are treating. There are suitable alternatives and dietary changes that can completely reverse high blood pressure. I lost my father yesterday at the age of 68 and people seem to think that it's acceptable to die of cancer without understanding the cause. It is NOT acceptable. It is NOT normal. There are identifiable and preventable causes of it all.

Shortly after starting the prescription the first lot was recalled, although CVS swears my lot was not contaminated. Nor the lots of losartan I had taken after that, I was diagnosed with bladder cancer in April 2019. Reading through others posts, I feel that I had alot of the same symptoms, heart racing, feeling that it was not helping my blood pressure, and mostly feeling like it was the specific pill I took that day, sometimes ineffective, sometimes over effective. Once I was diagnosed with bladder cancer, the doctor that removed it said that the tumor was approximately 8 months old, a little less time then taking Losartan. I was told that smoking can increase the risk of bladder cancer, but I had quit that habit 10 years prior and with no other nicotine use or other drugs. I am frustrated with my diagnosis, If there are others on here that caught it early, and younger, I was 45 when diagnosed, plan on years of scopes, kemo, CT's, and removal of persistent tumors. My cardiologist took me off Losartan and prescribed Valsartan. I know that this drug has been recalled as well in the past, but it seems to control blood pressure much better than losartan for me.

  My father prescription was changed to the generic Losartan and he experienced significant side effects from this medicine over a matter of months, which led to his death January 2019. Right after he died our family received the recall notice.

Once home in Australia I continued on the tablet with an increased dose. Then within a few months home it became very hard for me to get a script filled. Neither pharmacy or doctors told me that the supply of drugs had been limited because of contamination.No one bothered to tell me that the FDA in US had withdrawn ( despite the fact the initial prescribing Physician had my Australian address). I eventually moved to another drug after Australia then withrew it threw our TGA (similar to FDA). Where does this leave me. Do I have any rights legally in USA

• StuartFebruary 5, 2020 at 8:40 pm

  I took Losartan from 2012 to 2019 before switching to another med after reading in the news about a recall. In 2019 I was diagnosed with renal clear cell carcinoma and had my right kidney removed. Not sure if I have any recourse at this point. Medical costs have been extreme and I'm in limbo not knowing if it will come back or not, Scans now every six months.

• TeriFebruary 4, 2020 at 11:50 pm

  I took Losartan for many years. When the recalls started coming, I checked my bottle and it was ok. After I had finished taking the entire bottle of 90, another recall came in that included the one I had just finished. Now in the past several months I have been diagnosed with squamous, basil and breast cancer. I can't help but think it may be linked to this

• MichaelDecember 31, 2019 at 2:03 am

  Lasartan has destroyed my life. I have angioedema, brain vessel disease,a sinus cavity disease, a vascular disease, wounds all over my body, allergies to everything in the world etc... I still have all the pills n bottles.

  My husband has been taking his high blood pressure medication since 2017. Now all of a sudden he's having test done because his calcitonin levels are elevated and hes being tested for thyroid cancer. He also has developed a lump in his left chest area. Drs are throwing around the word cancer and were STILL not getting any clear answers. I'm almost certain its because of the losartan bp medication.

• EvelynSeptember 25, 2019 at 1:42 pm

  I began taking Losartan Potasium 100 mg. in the latter part of 2017. So far, I have not shown any cancer, although I have recently had trouble with my kidneys. I am a diabetic and it was prescribed to protect my kidneys. Maybe I have a case to add to the class action filing; maybe not. You tell me if I do. Thanks.

She asked one of her assistants to ca CVS to verify. I was told that the lot # that was given was not included on recall. So continue taking my losartan. After a couple of months I noticed that my blood pressure became uncontrollable . I started having chest pains. I had a couple of severe chest pains one of which happened while doing my laundry. i bent a little to put my clothes in the washer and I felt severe chest pain, I crawled back to my room and called my primary physician to ask her if I can come to her clinic. She told me to call 911 and go to emergency. I didn’t go . I waited until my pain subside. The next day I went to see my doctor .ardiologist She referred me to a cardiologist. I went to see a cardiologist for initial visit. I told my cardiologist that I lost all my energy.. I used to walk 2-3 miles in the morning . About 25 minutes on a thread mill with no problem. Now I can’t even walk half a mile without stopping to catch my breath. And I easily get tired. My cardiologist had me took a stress test, echo cardiogram, and electro cardiogram. The result came out good. But I was still feeling weak and my blood pressure was still uncontrollable. My primary physician told me to stopped taking losartan . Instead she prescribed amlodipine. After a couple of months of not taking losartan my blood pressure is now controlled. My energy is back about 90% and do a long walk again with no problem. The only thing is that sometimes I felt my heart is beating so fast. And I knew this was part of effect of taking the contaminated losartan
