Antibiotics have a useful purpose when it comes to the maintenance of health given the fact that they can stop deadly diseases such as tuberculosis from spreading. In addition, antibiotics are frequently prescribed for people who have undergone certain invasive surgeries as well as those that may be at risk for infection on account of traveling to tropical areas where certain bacterial life forms are widely known to be prevalent. Ketek is an antibiotic that has been prescribed since the early 2000’s, used in the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia, chronic bronchitis and acute bacterial sinusitis. This medication was a hit for a long time until it was discovered that it could potentially cause severe, and even life-threatening complications. If your doctor prescribed you Ketek and then you went on to suffer complication such as respiratory failure and liver damage, you may be eligible for compensation, and we’re here to help with that.

Ketek Antibiotic Dangers

It is interesting to note that the FDA was reluctant when it came to approve Ketek for use by the public on account of the fact that the warning labels it hard regarding the risks associated with the drug. Two years later, in 2006, the FDA asked that the drug maker ensure that every product came with a very strong black label warning in order to inform consumers about the risk of the drug. That said, this was too little, too late as millions had already been prescribed the medication and were en route to suffering serious complications.
