Raptiva use may lead to medical lawsuits

The use of the psoriasis drug Raptiva could lead to medical lawsuits as the FDA issued a warning that taking the drug could result in serious brain infection and even death.

Raptiva has been found to cause a serious brain infection called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy. Three confirmed long term users of Raptiva have developed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) after the use of the injectable drug.

Raptiva is used by adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It acts by suppressing T-cells in the immune system that cause psoriasis-associated skin inflammation.

Medical attorneys are now starting to look into the facts of potential medical lawsuits involving Raptiva.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) after the use of Raptiva. If you believe you or someone you love who was taking Raptiva has PML, contact a medical lawyer immediately about your potential Raptiva medical lawsuit.
