PLEASE NOTE: TERRY BRYANT IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW PRILOSEC CASES.<\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve suffered dangerous side effects after taking Prilosec, you may have questions about a Prilosec lawsuit. Prilosec belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It is used to treat stomach acid problems. Prilosec is available in both over-the-counter and prescription forms. The Food and Drug Administration<\/a> (FDA) approved prescription Prilosec in 1989, which is prescribed by doctor\u2019s for people with ulcers and other medical conditions. The over-the-counter version, Prilosec OTC, is intended to treat frequent heartburn. It was approved by the FDA in 2003. The active ingredient in both versions of the drug is omeprazole. If you believe you’ve suffered harm from Prilosec and are seeking legal assistance, it may be beneficial to consult with a burn injury lawyer<\/a>.<\/p>

While Prilosec is a very popular drug that many people take, several studies show that it can cause severe health problems. Some Prilosec users have experienced kidney disease and renal failure. In addition to kidney damage, there is a possible increased risk of fractures to the hip, wrist, and spine associated with Prilosec and other PPIs, according to the FDA. Another study<\/a> showed the risk of cardiovascular issues increased by as much as 70% for regular users of PPIs, including omeprazole. The manufacturer\u2019s own labeling notes other serious side effects.<\/p>\n

With so many bad potential side effects, it isn\u2019t surprising that thousands of Prilosec lawsuits have been filed citing injuries. <\/p>\n

How Much Could I Get in a Prilosec Kidney Disease Lawsuit or Other Side Affects Claim?<\/h2>\n

Some Prilosec lawsuits have asked for millions of dollars in compensation. As just one example, a 2016 Prilosec kidney disease lawsuit against the manufacturer sought $10 million. The lawsuit claimed that Prilosec caused injuries that led to renal failure, which is fatal without a kidney transplant or life-long dialysis treatments. Every case is different though.
