Most people begin taking a diet drug to shed excess weight and live a healthier lifestyle. However, when the drugs result in serious side effects, instead of beginning a new chapter of their lives, consumers find themselves suffering severe health issues and filing drug injury claims with a Pearland lawyer.

Weight loss is a billion-dollar industry, and drug manufacturers want their piece of the pie. When companies act unscrupulously, or when weight loss medications cause serious harm, you may be able to file a Texas personal injury claim with drug injury lawyers and obtain monetary restitution.

There are a number of diet and weight loss medications that have made headlines due to a rising number of drug injury lawsuits, such as: 

• Metabolife;
• Ephedra;
• Meridia;
• Hydroxycut;
• Xenadrine;
• Phen-Fen; and
• Emagrece Sim (Brazilian Diet Pill). 

Many of these drugs are linked to a host of dangerous side effects that consumers are oftentimes not aware of. Some of the scary side effects that drug injury lawyers have witnessed from these weight loss pills include: 

• anxiety, psychosis and insomnia;
• hepatitis;
• increased blood pressure and heart rate;
• seizures and strokes;
• irregular heartbeat, arrhythmia and heart attacks; and
• death. 

If you believe you may be experiencing any potentially harmful side effects from a medication you're taking, contact your doctor immediately. Then, as soon as you're able, consult a Pearland lawyer about filing a Texas personal injury claim.
