Quinine Attorney

Speak to a Quinine Attorney

As you may know, quinine is a drug intended to treat malaria. Like other drugs, the news spread of what other treatments quinine could be used for, such as leg cramps. What consumers fail to realize is that there is always a risk when using a drug for another usage other than what it's meant to treat. But to suffer a side effect like a headache or mild stomach pain can be tolerated. However, the side effects patients have experienced with quinine are not tolerable, in fact, they are quite debilitating.

If you have taken quinine no matter what you were trying to treat and suffered some injury, you should speak to a quinine attorney. A quinine attorney will be able to assess your situation determining exactly what type of legal action you can take. It is important to be very open with your attorney since even for a first consultation you are protected by the attorney-client privilege. A quinine attorney can only help you if he or she knows the truth about your quinine usage.

Quinine Not Just for Malaria

Using quinine for malaria has historically proven to be effective. This discovery was a miracle for many groups of people throughout the undeveloped world. As mentioned, news traveled fast and researchers began to discover the other uses for quinine. Some very innocently discovered that quinine helps rid the pain of leg cramps. Unless you have felt chronic pain, it is hard to understand the feeling of finally finding a treatment to alleviate that pain.

These consumers began to experience very dangerous side effects such as kidney damages, heart attacks, or hearing loss, just to name a few. It is a fact that off-label use of quinine is dangerous. Even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only approved one drug that contains quinine. When the FDA became aware of what was going on with quinine, they required companies to pull these quinine-contained drugs from their shelves. Consumers have also been warned to not take a drug for other reasons than what is clearly stated on the bottle.

The FDA is working hard to require companies to be clear on how they will market their drugs before they will receive a stamp of approval. Until then, if you have used quinine and have experienced health issues, you need to contact a quinine attorney today.
