You Need an Attorney That Will Fight for you

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension Information

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension is an incurable condition that progresses over time, causing insurmountable pressure in the pulmonary artery connecting the lungs to the heart. Eventually the pressure buildup causes the heart major stress, and the capillaries and arteries will fatally shut. Even with early diagnosis, there is no cure for PPH. The only therapy available merely controls the PPH side effect of high blood pressure, and does not save the patient from eventual fatal heart valve damage. The most viable treatment option remains a single or bilateral lung transplant.

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension Lawsuits Are on the Rise for Fen-Phen Users

Due to the interconnectedness between PPH and the diet drug Fen-Phen, litigation is in its beginning stages for patients and family members who have lost loved ones to this tragic and aggressive illness. It is important to note that patients that have previously filed lawsuits for Fen-Phen related heart valve damage are not precluded from filing a suit for PPH related to Fen-Phen use, nor are they barred by the same statute of limitations that applies to PPH related heart valve damage. Few attorneys practice PPH litigation for Fen-Phen users, and fewer lawyers focus on this very specific area of pharmaceutical litigation. One of the pioneers in this area is San Francisco attorney and advocate for victims' rights, Mary Alexander. Ms. Alexander tried the first Fen-Phen lawsuit in California and has since and settlements for over 150 clients. She now is forging the way for Primary Pulmonary Hypertension lawsuits in California and throughout the country.

Your PPH Could Have Been Caused by Fen-Phen

If you took Fen-Phen in the past and now have developed Primary Pulmonary Hypertension complications, it is imperative that you contact a primary pulmonary hypertension litigation attorney immediately to secure your interests and rights against negligent drug manufacturers.
