OsmoPrep Lawsuits Filed

ADVERTISEMENTS
Four plaintiffs filed a complaint in North Carolina claiming that the use of a Salix Pharmaceuticals drug led to kidney damage.

The case revolves around the drug OsmoPrep, which is used to cleanse the intestines in preparation for a colonoscopy. A statement claims the parties sustained a variety of serious kidney injuries and that some of the injuries resulted in the need for dialysis. The statement says that the medical name for the plaintiffs? condition is called acute phosphate nephropathy.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration placed a ?black box? warning ? the most severe admonition possible ? on OsmoPrep in December 2008. The FDA said that OsmoPrep and another Salix bowel cleanser, Visicol, carry the risk of kidney damage.
