The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a stern warning that the popular heartburn drug, Propulsid, can cause dangerous irregular heartbeats and even sudden death. The FDA has further warned that Propulsid should not be taken with certain other medications. Therefore, elderly persons should be especially cautious about using the drug since many use multiple medications or have existing medical conditions, placing them at high risk for problems with Propulsid.

Propulsid was a heartburn medicine approved in 1993 only for severe nighttime heartburn experienced by adult patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Around thirty million Americans used Propulsid prior to its March 2000 withdrawal. Cardiac problems had been associated to Propulsid early on and the FDA strengthened the drug's label for Propulsid a couple times before finally removing it from the market. The label changes were intended to emphasize the Propulsid risk factors.

At the time of the Propulsid recall the drug had been associated with 341 reports of heart rhythm abnormalities, including 80 reports of deaths. These Propulsid reports were including only reported adverse effects as of December 31, 1999. Our Maryland Propulsid Lawyers can help you win the compensation you deserve.
