Am I eligible for compensation?
Did you take valsartan between 2012 - 2019?
Have you been diagnosed with cancer?
You may be eligible to pursue compensation. A lawsuit verdict or settlement can provide for financial and non-financial losses and injuries caused by taking these products.
The concern
Valsartan and other similar generic medications used to treat high blood pressure, have been recalled following the detection of certain contaminants that the FDA has noted as probable or potential carcinogens (cancer-causing). The amounts found in the recalled batches exceed the ‘safe’ levels set by the FDA.
Valsartan cancer lawsuits allege
That patients prescribed valsartan, losartan, or irbesartan claim that drug manufacturers willfully disregarded industry standards on mutagenic impurities during production. The contaminant was undiscovered for years until detected by the European Medicines Agency.
You should consider filing a lawsuit:
If you have taken Valsartan or Losartan, or Irebsartan and you’ve been been diagnosed with cancer, leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or multiple myeloma, you may be eligible to pursue compensation. A lawsuit verdict or settlement may provide for financial and non-financial losses and injuries caused by taking these products.
It’s a good idea to have a lawyer because:
Drug manufacturers have huge resources and lawyers to go against individuals, which can be costly, difficult, and intimidating. With an experienced attorney and a resourced law firm on your side, you have the best chance to stand up to these large corporations and increase your chances of being fully compensated.

“The FDA needs to finish its investigation and develop a plan to prevent further contamination. Until then, every batch of these medications should be scrutinized closely, before it reaches patients, to determine if probable carcinogens are present.”
