Patients Improperly Being Prescribed Feraheme: Medical Malpractice
Written By: Rheingold, Valet, Rheingold, Ruffo & Giuffra LLP
Feraheme is an iron supplement prescribed to kidney failure patients. However,
patients with iron allergies have experienced severe anaphylactic allergic
reactions, some which have caused death. AMAG Pharmaceuticals is the manufacturer
of Feraheme (ferumoxytol) and warns of allergic reaction in the prescribing
information. However, the FDA recently collated data showing that patients
with a known allergy or with multiple allergies were being prescribed
this drug. Over half the patients with severe side effects had some type
known of allergy or allergies. Our firm has handled combination product
liability and medical malpractice cases for decades, and we stand ready
to answer any questions you may have about injury or death from Feraheme
or any medication containing iron.
