Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
There are an estimated 6 million women
taking the prescription drug
Prempro. Prempro is a leading Hormone Replacement
Therapy (HRT) drug that combines estrogen and progestin into
one pill. It is prescribed to treat women experiencing
menopausal symptoms that include mood swings, hot flashes,
night sweats, vaginal dryness and osteoporosis.
When first released, it was believed that Prempro could
relieve menopausal symptoms, and reduce the risk of
osteoporosis and heart complications. Subsequent studies
have revealed troubling side effects and risks associated
with Prempro. Some of these dangers include increased risk
of heart attack, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, blood clots,
and stroke.

Neurontin
Neurontin (pronounced NUHR-on-tin) is a prescription
anticonvulsant medication used as a supplementary treatment
for partial seizures, most commonly epileptic seizures. The
generic name of Neurontin is gabapentin, and has been
associated with many serious and sometimes life threatening
side effects when used to treat 'off label' medical
conditions. Pfizer Inc., the manufacturer of Neurontin,
launched an aggressive marketing campaign to illegally
promote Neurontin as a treatment for unapproved illnesses.

OxyContin
The Brown & Crouppen law firm is one of
mid-America’s largest personal injury law firms, with a 25
year history of success. A large area of our concentration
is dangerous drug litigation involving manufacturers and
suppliers of unsafe drugs. We believe that the makers of
dangerous products who place profit above the lives of
innocent victims should be held accountable for their
actions.
OxyContin™ is a powerful, addictive drug that the
National Institute for Drug Abuse (NIDA) has identified as
one of their greatest concerns and a growing problem.
Each day our nation becomes more aware of the dangers of
this drug as lives are lost, families are torn apart and
communities are devastated by the criminal activity
associated with pursuit and use of the drug. We recognize
that OxyContin has helped relieve the pain of many. However,
we also believe that Purdue Pharma, L.P. and Abbot Labs
were negligent in promoting Oxycontin while minimizing
the risk of abuse and addiction.
