PROCRIT

  • Procrit is an anemia drug for certain patients with chronic kidney failure, HIV, or cancer
  • Procrit is used to reduce blood transfusions during some surgeries
  • Procrit has caused deaths, non-fatal heart attacks, strokes, heart failure and blood clots in patients with chronic kidney failure receiving higher than recommended doses
  • More than 50% of dialysis patients in the U.S. regularly receive higher than recommended doses
  • Procrit has caused accelerated tumor growth and increased risk of death in certain cancer patients
  • Procrit has caused blood clots in patients undergoing major surgery
  • An FDA-mandated black box warning has been added to Procrit labeling

Lawsuits are being filed across the country against the drug companies that manufacture and promote Procrit. The FDA continues to receive reports of serious injuries and deaths resulting from Procrit use. The drug companies have been accused of false advertising and using illegal kickbacks, promotions, and marketing strategies. The Procrit label now warns about the life-threatening risks associated with Procrit use. But this warning comes too late for many Procrit patients.
