Low Testosterone Lawsuits: Drug Misuse Leads To Alleged Health Risks

October 02, 2015 – – Banville Law reports on highlights from a recent news story from Memphis, Tennessee discussing low testosterone therapy treatments and low t lawsuits. The focus of the piece profiled the men behind the medicine, profiling consumers who had asked about starting low t treatments for a variety of reasons.

The low testosterone drugs promise things that appeal to all men: more energy, a renewed feeling of youth, and a better love life. Although the therapy itself isn’t new, the focus of these advertisements has certainly captured the attention of men across the United States, providing low testosterone manufacturers with a booming business that has regularly increased.

The news segment interviewed a man named Robert Booth, who runs Atlas Men’s Health in Memphis. When asked what typically spurs men to ask him about low t treatments, he cited their fatigue.

As men age, there is a natural and normal lowering of testosterone. This reduction can cause some unpleasant side effects, including fatigue, decrease in libido, loss of muscle mass and bone density, increasing mood swings and irritability, and weight gain. While it seems appealing to seek out a ‘miracle drug’ that could stop these side effects in their tracks, that may be too good to be true.

Testosterone therapy drugs were designed and FDA approved to treat diagnosed hypogonadism, but not to be used as a blanketed treatment for the normal effects of aging. Despite this, across the country, physicians have handed out prescriptions without testing to see if patients truly have these diagnosable issues.

Low T drugs come in several forms, ranging from creams and gels to pills and injections. In several studies, the drugs were connected to a range of serious side effects, including heart attacks, and blood clots. These studies prompted the FDA to make a statement, identifying some concerns over the product’s safety, risks, and the issue of overprescribing. They also required that all low t drug manufacturers put more complete warnings on the labels of their products.

Nationally, about 2,500 men are suing the manufacturers of these testosterone therapies, alleging that the products have caused them to suffer strokes, heart attacks, blood clots, and, in some cases, even death. The consolidated lawsuit now makes up multidistrict litigation (MDL 2545) and states, in summation, that because testosterone is only FDA approved for hypogonadism and the drastic testosterone decline it causes, marketing it in any way beyond that use is aggressive, misleading, and endangering the health of men.
