Permanent Hair Loss Caused by Taxotere

Taxotere drug makers failed to provide the public with known facts about the permanent hair loss side effect

Monday, June 26, 2017 - When the market for a drug is in the multi-billion dollar level, large pharmaceutical companies will do whatever it takes to retain and increase market share. To companies like Sanofi, product liability lawsuits are just another cost of doing business and drug companies continue to market their deadly drugs long after they know of the adverse side effects. In addition, once lawsuits start against a pharmaceutical company, the company normally sets aside multi-million dollar contingency funds and expenses them like your pain and suffering was just another cost of doing business.
