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.

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.

TVT mesh claims: join the action

You can join the legal action we’ve launched for women who are making TVT mesh claims having suffered problems and complications following their surgery.

Although different women can suffer in different ways, and each person has their own claim for compensation, we’re acting for a group that may either form into one action or remain as a multi-party action. These kinds of medical group actions are what we specialise in. We’ve recovered over £1.3m in compensation for a similar medical group action, and we’ve been appointed to the Steering Committee leading what’s set to be one of the biggest consumer actions in the UK.

When it comes to group actions, our expertise speaks for itself. Women who have yet to start TVT mesh claims may be eligible for our help today.
