Raxar Lawyer
Columbus, Ohio
Raxar is an antibiotic that was approved for use by the Federal
Drug Administration in November 1997. This approval came despite indications
that the drug could cause serious heart rhythm disturbances. Click on FAQ on
Arrhythmia to learn more about this phenomena. In fact, clinical trials under
review by the FDA suggested that at least two deaths occurred as a result of
heart rhythm disturbances. Yet, the FDA chose not to require a warning on the
drug packaging and Glaxo, the manufacturer of Raxar also opted to keep these
suspicions undisclosed. Instead, Glaxo merely indicated on Raxar labels that
"there were no deaths or permanent disabilities" among those who took the drug
in 400-milligram doses. That statement was true. However, patients who died
in the clinical study took 600-milligram doses of Raxar. According to records
filed with the FDA, Raxar has been cited as a suspect in 13 reported deaths.
