GranuFlo and NaturaLyte Causes Serious Side Effects or Death

THE PROBLEM WITH GRANUFLO AND NATURALYTE

The dialysis treatment drugs GranuFlo and NaturaLyte have recently been found to cause serious side effects, heart risks, and in extreme cases, death. If you or a loved one has suffered complications due to receiving these treatments, you may be eligible for a claim.

GranuFlo and NaturaLyte were manufactured and distributed by Germany-based medical manufacturers, Fresenius Medical Care.

Earlier this year in March, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration initiated a recall for NaturaLyte and GranuFlo. The FDA listed it as a Class 1 Recall, the highest level of risk in any level of product recalls.

Manufacturer misled the public

Though the FMC issued an internal warning within its company-owned clinics about the risks of GranuFlo and NaturaLyte, it did not offer warnings to anyone else. FMC failed to warn physicians and clinics not owned by FMC about the products.

The internal memo was leaked to the FDA in 2012.

As a result, the products were recalled.

Why were NaturaLyte and GranuFlo recalled?

The manufacturer reported that the concentration of acetate and sodium diacetate contained in the drugs lead to a high serum bicarbonate level in patients. This caused high risk factors in patients associated with low blood pressure among a number of heart risks.

If untreated, these risks may culminate in serious heart conditions or even death.

How many injuries have been caused by GranuFlo and NaturaLyte?

FMC noted 941 patients suffered cardiac arrest in 2010 alone. The numbers only included patients who were injured in clinics owned by FMC. Keep min mind that other medical centers treated their patients with GranuFlo and NaturaLyte.

Have you suffered complications after using GranuFlo or NaturaLyte?

Breaking news: If you have been treated with dialysis drugs GranuFlo and NaturaLyte, you may be eligible for compensation.

Dialysis treatment drugs GranuFlo and NaturaLyte have just been found to cause serious side effects. It has been reported that the manufacturers of the drugs, Fresenius Medical Care, knew about these medical risks, but failed to notify the labs and medical centers of the risks. 

If you or someone you know has been treated with FMC's products, and are suffering complications, you must speak with an attorney to determine whether you can file a claim.

What is the problem with GranuFlo and NaturaLyte?

In November, FMC, a company that produced and distributed the products, released an internal memo within its company-owned medical care centers, warning patients of the heart attack risks linked to the drugs.

What the company failed to mention was that patients who took the treatments were six to eight times likely to suffer a heart attack within 48 hours of treatment.

Recently, the products were recalled by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as a Class 1 Recall. Class 1 Recalls involve treatments that impose high health risks or even death. It is the worst level of recalls the FDA classifies.

If you've suffered injuries or even slight complications, you may be eligible for a claim. Serious side effects and injuries are threatening and life-changing. You may be susceptible to suffering one of these problems:

• Low blood pressure
• Hypo tension
• Heart attack
• Myocardinal infarction 
• Heart problems

It is difficult for an attorney to determine whether or not you can file for compensation without first speaking to you about your case. If you've suffered complications from one of these drugs, you must speak to a lawyer.
