Montana Taxotere Hair Loss Attorney

Taxotere (docataxel), a chemotherapy drug commonly used in breast cancer treatment in Montana, has been found to cause permanent alopecia or hair loss. Taxotere is more toxic and more potent than other similar treatments, but there is no evidence the drug is more effective. Countless Montana breast cancer patients consented to Taxotere treatment without knowledge of the possible side effect of permanent hair loss. Taxotere hair loss is a traumatic experience, which can result in psychological distress, body image problems, and ongoing suffering and depression.

Though Montana breast cancer patients and their doctors were not aware of the risk of permanent hair loss from Taxotere, the drug's manufacturer, Sanofi, apparently was. By 2005, Sanofi executives were in possession of study results indicating that Taxotere hair loss was suffered as a side effect by 9% of patients. Sanofi issued Taxotere hair loss warnings to consumers in Canada and Europe. In the Montana and throughout the United States, permanent alopecia or hair loss was not listed as a possible Taxotere side effect.

Rather than warning Montana consumers about the potential for permanent hair loss from Taxotere, the company continued its aggressive marketing campaigns to promote off-label uses of Taxotere. An illegal scheme, Sanofi's strategy of providing incentives to doctors who prescribed Taxotere for off-label uses resulted in significant revenue increases. Between 2000 and 2004, Taxotere's sales rose from $424 million to $1.4 billion. The drug was also promoted for its "super efficacy", though no study results ever indicated Taxotere to be more effective than other, safer chemotherapy drugs. Sanofi directly caused countless Montana residents to be exposed to Taxotere permanent hair loss and other side effects.

For its fraudulent promotion of Taxotere, Sanofi has been the subject of FDA warnings and regulation. However, the company has not yet been held accountable for causing permanent Taxotere alopecia in thousands of Montana patients. Filing a Montana Taxotere hair loss lawsuit is the primary means for individual consumers in Montana to hold Sanofi accountable for its fraudulent and despicable actions.

Why were patients in Montana never warned about the risk of permanent hair loss from Taxotere treatment?

It is not entirely clear why Sanofi warned consumers in many countries about the risk of permanent hair loss from Taxotere, but did not warn American consumers. A study funded by Sanofi, which was launched soon after the drug received FDA approval in 1996, found evidence of the Taxotere hair loss risk by 2005. The study showed that more than 9% of patients exposed to Taxotere experienced permanent hair loss problems, yet this information was never shared with residents of Montana or the American public at large. Instead, the company continued with its aggressive, and at times illlegal, marketing tactics to boost Taxotere to prominence.

Who is at risk for permanent hair loss from Taxotere?

Research shows that approximately nine percent of patients exposed to Taxotere will experience permanent alopecia or hair loss. Taxotere hair loss may result in complete baldness or hair that grows in odd clumps or patches. Anyone in Montana who has been exposed to Taxotere chemotherapy treatment may experience ongoing hair loss problems.

Aren't most products liability lawsuits just class action lawsuits where the plaintiff can expect only a small, symbolic settlement?

Montana Taxotere hair loss lawsuits are not class action lawsuits. Instead, it is likely Taxotere claims filed in Montana against Sanofi will be consolidated together with others filed around the nation as MDL, or Multi-District Litigation. Multidistrict litigation enables many parallel claims regarding a common product risk or defect to be processed at once, while preserving the unique elements of each case. Individual claimants in a products liability MDL can expect to receive real compensation, with the amount based upon the individual injuries and damages incurred by each plaintiff.

We're not the type of people who sue; do we really need to file a lawsuit?

If a member of your family suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a defective product or dangerous drug, long-term, or even life-long, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to a defective product or dangerous drug, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective products, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.

What are the time limits for filing a Montana Taxotere hair loss lawsuit against Sanofi?

There are Montana Taxotere hair loss lawsuit time limits that apply to claims made in many states. However, if you contact an attorney in the near future regarding a Taxotere claim, you will likely fall within the accepted time limits.
