The defective drug lawyers of McSweeney / Langevin are retaining people who used name brand antibiotics and suffered Peripherial Neuropothy. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves that send information to and from the brain and spinal cord. Damage to these nerves interrupts this connection. Symptoms are usually numbness, tingling, burning, or shooting pain in the arms and leg

McSweeney / Langevin, a national law firm is actively assisting people who have been prescribed a class of drugs known as Floroquiniloines and developed Peripheral Neuropathy, a form of serious and potentially permanent nerve damage.

“Everyday, more and more people are developing Periphereal Neuropathy as a result of their use of antibiotic drugs.” said Rhett A. McSweeney, founding partner of McSweney/Langevin.

TheFDA identifies Fluoroquinolones as numerous brand-name and well-known antibiotic drugs.

In September, 2013, the FDA strengthened its warning to indicate the brand-name and well-known antibiotics may cause sudden, serious, and potentially permanent nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy.

TheNational Institute of Neurological and Stroke’s web site describes Peripheral neuropathy as, “damage to the peripheral nervous system, the vast communications network that transmits information from the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system) to every other part of the body”.

TheFDA issued a Drug Safety Communication indicating patients receiving fluoroquinolone developed peripheral neuropathy. The warning specifically states the brand-name and well-known antibiotic treatments should be discontinued if symptoms of nerve damage appear.

Specifically; the FDA warning states: “Symptoms include pain, burning, tingling, numbness, weakness, or a change in sensation to light touch, pain or temperature, or the sense of body position. It can occur at any time during treatment with fluoroquinolones and can last for months to years after the drug is stopped or be permanent. Patients using fluoroquinolones who develop any symptoms of peripheral neuropathy should tell their health care professionals right away.”
