Veozah Liver Injury Lawsuits

This page is about Veozah lawsuits for victims who have suffered a liver injury.

Veozah, a medication commonly used by women to alleviate hot flashes during menopause, has recently been linked to reports of serious liver injuries. Many women have turned to Veozah. It is, everyone seems to agree, an effective solution for many managing the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, such as sudden sweating, intense heat, and rapid heartbeat that disrupt daily life. Yet, despite its effectiveness in reducing these symptoms, emerging evidence suggests that Veozah may pose a risk to liver health, leading to potentially severe complications.

Understanding Veozah and Its Use

Veozah is a prescription medication specifically developed to help women manage the uncomfortable and often disruptive symptoms of menopause, particularly vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes. Hot flashes are characterized by sudden sensations of intense heat, often accompanied by sweating, a rapid heartbeat, and redness or flushing of the face and neck. For many women, hot flashes can occur frequently and unexpectedly, disrupting sleep, work, and everyday activities. The severity of these symptoms can vary widely; some women experience mild and infrequent episodes, while others may have severe hot flashes that significantly impact their quality of life.

Veozah works by targeting the brain’s hypothalamus, a region responsible for regulating body temperature. During menopause, hormonal changes can alter how the hypothalamus perceives and controls temperature, leading to hot flashes. Veozah helps restore balance in the brain’s temperature regulation system, reducing both the frequency and intensity of these episodes. This relief can provide a much-needed sense of normalcy for women going through menopause, allowing them to sleep better, remain more active, and manage their daily routines without the constant disruption of hot flashes.

Our lawyers understand the drug have side effects.  Like all medications, Veozah comes with risk, some of which can be unexpected or more severe than initially reported. Common side effects noted in clinical trials include nausea, dizziness, and headaches, which are typical for medications that interact with the central nervous system.

But drugmakers have to warn of all of the relevant risk. Unfortunately, initial studies may not have thoroughly evaluated the drug’s impact on liver function or women were just not told of the risk. As more women began using Veozah post-approval, reports of liver-related side effects emerged, prompting health authorities and the medical community to take a closer look at the medication’s safety profile.

The growing concern is that Veozah may pose a risk of liver injury, which can range from mild elevations in liver enzymes—an early warning sign of stress or damage—to more severe conditions such as hepatitis, liver inflammation, or even acute liver failure in rare cases. Liver damage can develop quietly and without obvious symptoms, making it difficult to detect until significant harm has already occurred. This is why regular monitoring of liver function is now advised for women taking Veozah, especially for those with pre-existing liver conditions or who are taking other medications that may impact liver health.

Given these emerging safety concerns, it’s important for women and their healthcare providers to discuss the potential risks and benefits of using Veozah. Women should be aware of any unusual symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), or dark urine, and seek immediate medical attention if these occur. Regular liver function tests may be recommended to catch early signs of damage and prevent more serious complications.

Reports of Liver Injuries

Over time, an increasing number of women have reported experiencing liver injuries after using Veozah, raising significant concerns about the drug’s safety profile. Liver injuries can present in various forms, starting with subtle signs such as elevated liver enzymes detected in blood tests—an early indicator of liver stress or damage. As the condition progresses, patients may experience more pronounced symptoms, including liver inflammation, pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, and jaundice, which is characterized by yellowing of the skin and eyes. In severe cases, the damage can lead to acute liver failure, a life-threatening condition that can require hospitalization and, in some instances, liver transplantation. Other common symptoms of liver injury include nausea, extreme fatigue, dark-colored urine, and loss of appetite.

The link between Veozah and liver health is still under investigation. But it is fair to say the evidence is strong enough that lawyers like us are now looking for for potential Veozah lawsuits. The science and evidence may already be strong enough. The volume of these adverse reports has already prompted the medical community to take notice and initiate further research into the potential side effects of the drug. Healthcare providers are advising patients and clinicians to exercise caution when using Veozah, particularly for individuals with pre-existing liver conditions or those taking other medications that may affect liver function. In some cases, liver damage has occurred within just a few weeks or months of starting Veozah, indicating that the drug may have a faster impact on liver health than initially thought.

Given these findings, healthcare providers now recommend routine monitoring of liver function for any patient taking Veozah. This means undergoing liver function tests before starting the medication and scheduling regular tests throughout treatment to catch any early signs of liver issues.

This is a big deal for people taking this drug. The last thing anyone wants is for a medication intended to provide relief from menopause symptoms to turn into a one-way ticket to the hospital due to severe liver complications. It’s no surprise that these adverse outcomes have put Veozah under heightened scrutiny, with many experts now advocating for more rigorous clinical trials and additional warnings on the label.

Legal Implications and Your Rights

If you have experienced liver issues after taking Veozah, you may be entitled to seek legal action against the manufacturer. Drug manufacturers are responsible for ensuring the safety of their products and providing adequate warnings about potential side effects. When these obligations are not met, and patients suffer as a result, the company can be held liable for failing to protect consumers.

Women who have suffered from liver injuries linked to Veozah may be able to pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other related damages. A successful lawsuit can help cover the costs of long-term medical treatment, rehabilitation, or in severe cases, liver transplants and ongoing healthcare needs.

What to Do If You Have a Liver Injury

If you suspect that Veozah has harmed your liver, it is essential to seek medical attention immediately. A healthcare professional can conduct the necessary tests to evaluate liver function and determine whether there is any damage. In addition to seeking medical help, consider reaching out to a legal professional experienced in pharmaceutical injury cases.
