Side Effects of Taxotere
Taxotere was originally approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1996 for the treatment of stomach, breast, neck, prostate and lung cancers. More frequently, this drug is used with advanced breast cancer cases after other attempts of chemotherapy have been unsuccessful.
According to the manufacturer, Sanofi-Aventis Pharmaceutical Company, Taxotere is the most prescribed medication and treatment in its class.
Recent studies, however, have linked Taxotere with permanent hair loss, or alopecia. Although chemotherapy may cause hair loss, it is typically not permanent.
A 2006 study conducted by a Denver oncologist revealed that six percent of breast cancer patients who used Taxotere suffered alopecia.
Just a few years later, a 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology also linked high numbers of Taxotere patients to alopecia.
In 2013, a study conducted by the National Cancer Research Institute found that up to 15 percent of patients who used this medication sustained permanent hair loss.
If you suffered permanent hair loss after using the cancer drug Taxotere, you may be entitled to receive compensation. Our class action lawyers can help you determine if filing a Taxotere lawsuit is right for you.
