WHAT IS XELJANZ (TOFACITINIB)?
Developed and introduced by the drug maker Pfizer, Xeljanz (tofacitinib) was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012 to treat active rheumatoid arthritis patients, psoriatic arthritis patients, ulcerative colitis patients, and polyarticular course juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients. Since hitting the market Xeljanz has been a massive success for the pharmaceutical company Pfizer; distributed in over 80 countries worldwide and prescribed to almost 200,000 patients for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis patients in the United States, Xeljanz is responsible for billions of dollars in sales, including $1.8 billion in sales in 2018 alone.
Xeljanz works by acting as a Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor that disrupts pathways within the cells that causes inflammatory conditions and decreases activity in the immune system that leads to pain and discomfort associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Available by prescription only to treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis, Xeljanz is administered orally in 5, 10, 11, and 22 milligram tablet dose of tofacitinib; it is also available in an extended-release tablet known as Xeljanx XR.
Despite the popularity of the drug with rheumatoid arthritis patients, a recent safety clinical study and a clinical trial have revealed a heightened risk of blood clots in patients, as well as an increased risk certain types of cancer, a risk of lymphoma, other serious infections and even death for patients taking a high daily dose of tofacitinib. In fact, the health risks were so significant in the post-marketing safety study that in 2019 the FDA issued what is known as a Black Box warning, which is the most stringent of all warning labels and is limited to drugs or devices that carry the most serious risk of death or serious side effects.

XELJANZ 2019 FDA BLACK BOX WARNING: WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
In July of 2019 the FDA approved and mandated a Black Box warning for Xeljanz after safety clinical trials found a heightened risk of blood clots and death among patients taking a higher daily dose. In fact, between 2013 and 2018 the FDA received reports of patients taking Xeljanz suffering deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolisms (PE). In addition to the blood clot risks posed by patients taking Xeljanz, the required warnings also alert patients and healthcare professionals to a host of other issues, including:
Infections, including fungal infections and tuberculosis, which can be deadly
Lymphoma
Skin Cancer
Diverticulitis and stomach ulcers
Severe allergic reactions
Liver Damage
Heart Attack, High Blood Pressure other Cardiovascular Event
Risk of Cancer (Lung Cancer, Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, Colon Cancer)
Increased Cardiovascular Risk Factor: Cardiovascular Events including cardiac arrest, arterial thrombosis, myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and cardiovascular death
While all of these potential side effects are alarming, of particular concern are the pulmonary embolisms, which occur when blood clots travel through the body and reach the lungs. This can result in chest pains, difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, lightheadedness, cardiac events such as cardiac arrest and rapid or irregular heard beat. Other symptoms of a blood clot can include, but aren’t limited to: chest pain that worsens with breathing; sudden shortness of breath; swelling in the arms or legs; red or discolored skin in the arms or legs; leg pain or tenderness. Pulmonary embolisms can be life threatening and require immediate medical attention. In fact, of the patients who reported blood clots as a result of using Xeljanz, fifteen died of their injuries.

XELJANZ LAWSUITS 2023 UPDATE
Attorneys around the country have starting filing lawsuits against Pfizer related to Xeljanz. The claims include allegations that Xeljanz has a design defect, which is to say that Pfizer negligently designed and produced the drug leaving patients vulnerable to potentially devastating side effects. Another claim is that Pfizer failed to adequately warn the public about the risks and potential side effects of taking Xeljanz and that as a result of this failure to warn patients were unknowingly at risk. At the heart of these claims is the fact that the drug only required a warning as recently as July 2019, despite being on the market and available to the public since 2012. That means that there was a nearly seven-year period of patients taking Xeljanz without being adequately informed of the serious risks associated with the drug.
While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration now requires Pfizer to issue warnings and drug safety communications regarding the potential risks to patients taking the medication, Xeljanz is still widely available to patients seeking relief from rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ulcerative colitis. The drug is still the same and so are the risks, and with so much money on the line it is unlikely that Pfizer is going to remove Xeljanz from the market anytime soon. If you or a loved one has become injured, ill, or suffered blood clot complications using Xeljanz or Xeljanz XR, do not hesitate, call the Xeljanz lawsuit attorneys at Marin and Barrett, Inc. at (888) 348-2735 today, the consultation is confidential and of absolutely no cost to you.
