  1. Prilosec Lawsuits: A Questionable Medication  https://www.medlegal360.com/prilosec‐lawsuits/   AstraZeneca has been sued for Prilosec lawsuits, alleging that it failed to warn people that PPI use could  cause kidney damage.  Priloseclawsuits  Prilosec Lawsuits: A Questionable Medication  https://www.medlegal360.com/prilosec‐lawsuits/   In Prilosec lawsuits, AstraZeneca was accused of mass tort for neglecting to alert physicians and patients  about the significant and fatal adverse effects of the acid reflux medication Prilosec. It is a medicine  used to treat acid reflux like Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD),  Zollinger‐Ellison disease. It diminishes the toxins produced by your stomach. It reduces symptoms such  as coughing, heartburn, and difficulty swallowing. Prilosec is also used to prevent upper gastrointestinal  bleeding in high‐risk patients. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor, which is a type of medication.  Some of the more intense side effects of Prilosec are Liver problems, Autoimmune disease, Diarrhea.  Serious side effects are uncommon, occurring in only one out of every 1,000 people. These side effects  are similar to those of other proton pump inhibitor pills, including Nexium, Dexilant, Aciphex, and  Protonix. The most severe and common side effect that Prilosec and other proton pump inhibitor pills  cause is Kidney failure. This may happen if you have been taking Omeprazole for an extended time.  After a JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) publication that examined renal disorders  and PPIs in February 2006, the Prilosec lawsuits began to gain momentum. According to the study,  people taking proton pump inhibitors like Prilosec had an increased chance of developing chronic renal  disease.  Numerous court cases indicate that Prilosec can harm the kidneys. Prilosec and Prilosec OTC are held  accountable in Prilosec lawsuits for several severe renal issues. The drug company was charged with  poorly informing doctors and patients about Prilosec. Almost 12.775 lawsuits were still pending in the  MDL as of July 2019.  The MDL doesn't target one specific proton pump inhibitor drug. Instead, plaintiffs have brought  product liability claims after taking one among several different PPIs, including Prilosec (omeprazole),  Nexium (esomeprazole), Prevacid (lansoprazole), Dexilant (dexlansoprazole), Aciphex (rabeprazole),  Protonix (pantoprazole)  In the class action lawsuit for Prilosec, there are currently 13,314 PPI complaints filed by victims seeking  compensatory damages. These legal actions involving not only Nexium but also Prilosec, Protonix,  Prevacid, and Dexilant.  Filing a personal injury lawsuit against AstraZeneca and joining the MDL will be the most effective way  to quickly recover the compensation that you simply get for your pain and suffering.  If you or a loved one developed a serious complication after taking Prilosec. You must find the best  Lawyer with extensive experience in legal claims. You should also be aware of your medical records. It
