PPH SettlementsPrimary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) is still without a cure to this day and newly reported cases are on the rise. PPH is a rare lung disorder in which the blood pressure in the pulmonary artery rises far above normal levels for no apparent reason causing heart valve disease and death. Although little is know about PPH, doctors have connected PPH to the use of diet drugs such as Fen-Phen, Redux, and Pondimin. PPH settlements can provide restitution to individuals who have been injured by the once-popular diet drug, Fen Phen. Fen Phen debuted on America's drug market in the 1970s and gained popularity for the short and long term management of weight and obesity. Fen Phen was pulled off the shelves in September 1997 after clinical study reports indicated serious cardiovascular risks associated with Fen Phen use. Following the recall, numerous PPH lawsuits were filed on behalf of Americans who had suffered from PPH as a result of taking Fen Phen. Through years of intense litigation, a PPH settlement trust was established at $13 billion as a means to compensate the many people who suffered from PPH from using a prescription diet drug. It is estimated though that there are more than 12,000 more cases of serious side effects that have not yet resulted in PPH settlements. Some patients do not develop the signs and symptoms of PPH for years after terminating the use of this defective drug. PPH settlements may still be available for those persons who have recently been diagnosed with a PPH. If you have been diagnosed with PPH and have been using or used diet pills such as Fen-Phen, Redux and Pondimin, you may be eligible for a PPH settlement or lawsuit. Claims can be brought individually against the manufacturers, seeking compensation for damages including medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, lost quality of life, and punitive damages. |
