Wyeth, the major manufacturer and distributer of Prempro, a hormone therapy treatment intended to provide relief from hot flashes and night sweats along with prevention of osteoperosis, is now facing a plethera of lawsuits from defective qualities of the drug. The victims, now over 4,000, claim to have contracted breast cancer as a result of using the hormone therapy treatment. The lawyer representing many of the Prempro cases being presented said, “The overwhelming majority of women in these cases suffer from breast cancer as a result of their use of PRempro…. Wyeth aggressively over-promoted these drugs for conditions that [weren’t approved by] the FDA. [Prempro] was truly a panacea. This drug was promoted as the fountain of youth.”
The first case is assigned to the 31st of July in federal district court in Little Rock, Arkansas. Linda Reeves will be present at this time, a 67 year old woman of Benton, Arkansas who was diagnosed with breast cancer after taking Prempro for eight years for the prevention of osteoperosis. Reeves is placing the blame on Prempro for her difficult masectomy.
