Testosterone Therapy Heart Attack Lawyer

Low testosterone, sometimes referred to as “Low T”, is a medical condition that can affect men’s sex drive, mood, energy levels, muscle mass, and bone strength. A variety of patches, injections, gels — including the prescription drug AndroGel® — and pills are marketed to men as ways to increase testosterone levels. But testosterone therapy has been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular injuries in some male patients. These injuries can include:

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Deep venous thrombosis (DVT)
  • Death

If you or someone you love suffered a clotting injury or developed a cardiovascular illness after using a testosterone replacement therapy product, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages. Contact our experienced drug injury attorneys today, and let testosterone therapy heart attack lawyer protect your legal rights.

TESTOSTERONE THERAPY HEART RISKS

Low T drugs come in several different forms and are marketed under many different brand names, including:

  • AndroGel®
  • Androderm®
  • Axiron®
  • Delatestryl®
  • Fortesta®
  • Striant®
  • Testim®

A study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association reports a 30 percent increase in the risk of heart attack, stroke, pulmonary embolism, DVT, and even death in men who take these drugs. Another study of more than 55,000 male patients reveals that men over age 65 are twice as likely to have a heart attack after taking ”Low T” drugs for as little as three months. The risk of heart attack also doubles for men under age 65 if they have a history of heart disease.

The same study also concludes that, compared to “Low T” drugs, erectile dysfunction drugs — also marketed as methods to increase male sexual performance — are much less likely to increase the risk of heart attack in men under age 65 who have a history of heart disease.

These risks have led to a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigation into the link between “Low T” treatments and cardiovascular problems.
