Are you suffering with valsartan side effects?
If you’re suffering with valsartan side effects, you may want to read this article and take heed of some important information about the drug.
Last year, a Class 1 Medicines Recall was initiated by Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The recall stems from potential contamination that comes from the production process that could be incredibly serious for anyone affected. In fact, in the US, lawsuits have been active for some time now. When members of the Group Action Lawyers attended a conference in the U.S. last year, it was clear to us just how serious this issue could be.
If you’ve been taking the medication here in the UK and you’ve suffered problems or side effects, we may need to speak with you.
Are you affected by the bard mesh recall?
If you’re affected by the Bard mesh recall, is there any immediate danger, or is there any action that you need to take?
We can’t say that we’re surprised by the news of the recall. We’ve been advising women for years who have suffered problems and complications that have stemmed from being fitted with a vaginal mesh device. We’re also representing women who are making mesh implant compensation claims.
The company has initiated a recall and has immediately ceased production and distribution in Europe as a result of not wanting to invest further resources in evolving regulations. So, what does this mean for the patients?

There can be a number of timeframes involved in a case like this, and we’ve had to turn people away in the past who have missed deadlines to claim. We don’t want you to miss out on your chance for justice. With that in mind, here’s a little useful guidance about making a transvaginal mesh claim for compensation.
Starting your vaginal mesh lawsuit with us
Starting your vaginal mesh lawsuit with the Group Action Lawyers, if you’ve yet to do so, can be quick and easy.
In the UK, there has been legal actions going on for quite some time. However, it’s taken a while for regulators and the NHS to really act on vaginal mesh complications that people are suffering from. Only last year did the NHS finally put a widespread pause on the use of mesh implants, pending further investigations. Although there are still few definitive answers we need in terms of the problems people are suffering from, we’re taking legal action for women who are suffering with problems.
We’re calling on anyone who has yet to initiate a vaginal mesh lawsuit in the UK to contact our team as soon as possible.

Valsartan recall widens
The Valsartan recall widened last month following updated advice from the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA).
Batches of products containing Valsartan that were supplied by Teva UK Ltd and Mylan are being recalled in the UK. This follows on from a drug alert earlier this year that was issued after the discovery that some Valsartan products were contaminated. Legal cases are already underway, and this latest recall involves further batches of the product.
An immediate suspension and quarantine of the additional affected products has been ordered.
Were you affected by the cough syrup mould recall?
Were you affected by the cough syrup mould issues that came to light over summer? In the midst of the season for colds and coughs, you may want to take heed of this warning if you’re not aware of it already.
Over summer, a formal recall was issued with the UK’s medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. This was a Class 2 Medicines recall for own-brand glycerine and blackcurrant cough syrup products manufactured for children by Bell, Sons & Co.
As these are marketed as own-brand products, it’s the likes of Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco at the centre of this recall.
Bone cement complications from product recall
A regulator warning earlier this year stemmed from bone cement complications caused by an issue with the product itself.
A risk of the need for revision surgery from the use of Optipac 40 Refobacin Revision and Optipac 80 Refobacin Revision was identified. Manufacturer, Biomet UK Limited, issued a Field Safety Notice at the end of last year. The UK’s medical regulator, the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency), issued their own recall advice off the back of the findings.
Anyone who has suffered with bone cement complications may find the reason is to do with the product itself as opposed to failed surgery.
Advice for starting your vaginal mesh lawsuit
A large number of vaginal mesh lawsuits are already being pursued, and if you need advice for starting yours, you can contact the team for advice today.
Thousands of women have reported suffering from mesh implant complications, and the UK has been slow to take real action to safeguard women and ensure compensation is awarded for victims who are now suffering.
Some of the problems people can suffer from can be irreversible, so it’s important for anyone suffering with complications to start their vaginal mesh lawsuit as soon as they can; especially given that time limitations for new cases can be tricky.
Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall
A Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall has been announced by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA).
The company behind the eye drops, FDC Pharma, are recalling a batch due to what has been classed as an ‘out of specification result for an unknown impurity’ that was identified during testing. Medical professionals are to stop providing the eye drops to patients, and suppliers and distributors are to cease moving the eye drops as well.
The NHS has been pushing the news throughout the Service to ensure batches affected by the Latanoprost Timolol eye drops recall are not used.
