TEPEZZA ATTORNEYS BASED IN TROY, MICHIGAN

Nationally Representing Those Who Have Suffered Side Effects from Tepezza

Have you or someone close to you experienced difficulty hearing since starting Tepezza infusions? Tepezza, also known as teprotumumab, is an injectable prescription drug used to treat thyroid eye disease. Also referred to as TED, thyroid eye disease is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and swelling of the tissues around the eyes. Tepezza is the first and only FDA-approved medication for this condition. Thyroid eye disease most commonly occurs as part of Graves’ disease, which is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid and often the skin and eyes. Side effects listed on Tepezza’s website include:

• Muscle cramping or spasms

• Nausea

• Hair loss

• Feeling tired

• Diarrhea

• Fatigue

• High blood sugar

• Headaches

• Dry skin

• Weight loss

• Changes in menstruation

• Hearing problems

Although hearing problems are vaguely mentioned, the drug label fails to mention hearing loss and tinnitus, and that these symptoms may be permanent. According to the Lawsuit Information Center:

“A warning that does not meaningfully convey the risk is no warning at all” (Miller, 2023). At Oliver Law Group, we believe a patient suffering from one disorder should be clearly made aware of all potential risks before treatment is administered.

Are You Eligible for Compensation?

U.S. District Judge Thomas Durkin in the Northern District of Illinois is currently in charge of coordinating common problems that apply to multiple claims under the Tepezza MDL. You may be eligible for compensation if taking Tepezza caused you to experience any of the following symptoms: sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus (ringing in the ears), difficulty hearing, an ear plugging sensation, muffled sounds, sound sensitivity, problems making out words in noisy environments, inner ear pains, dizziness, or difficulty balancing. If you have any of these symptoms ask yourself, when did you start using Tepezza? How many infusions or treatments have you received? What type of hearing problems have you experienced? Has a doctor diagnosed your hearing difficulties or vocalized that said difficulties may be related to Tepezza? Schedule a call with Oliver Law Group to determine your next steps and leave the details to us as you navigate this challenging time.
