PPH Primary Pulmonary Hypertension Lawsuit

Primary pulmonary hypertension is generally considered to be a genetic disorder characterized by high blood pressure in the respiratory system. People who suffer from PPH generally have a difficult time exercising or experience shortness of breath during simple to moderate activity. In extreme cases it can lead to heart failure and death.

The drug Fen-Phen was associated with a rise in the occurrence of PPH in women who used the drug for weight management and appetite suppressant. The FDA requested the withdrawal of the chemical from the market in 1997, but severe damage was already done.

If you or someone you love developed primary pulmonary hypertension because of Fen-Phen use, you may have a right to seek damages from those responsible. A compassionate, dedicated attorney can help you today.
