Tepezza Hearing Loss Lawsuit

Tepezza Hearing Loss Lawsuit

Despite the rigorous approval process required prior to the manufacturing and distribution of prescription drugs, medications with harmful side effects continue to lead to numerous patients experiencing adverse reactions.

This is the case with Tepezza, a drug designed to help those suffering from Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), approved by the FDA in 2020. Recent studies have found that hearing problems caused by Tepezza could impact up to 65% of users.

If you or someone you know has received Tepezza injections and has suffered from hearing loss or tinnitus, you may be entitled to compensation.

The team at Ward Black Law can evaluate your case and help you understand your legal options, including a possible claim against the drug’s manufacturer. To learn more, call us today or visit our contact page.

What is Tepezza?

Tepezza, or Teprotumumab, was manufactured by Horizon Therapeutics to treat a condition known as Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). TED is an autoimmune disorder that causes swelling around the eyes and may cause the eyes to appear to bulge out of the head. This condition can also be linked to Graves disease.

Tepezza was developed to help treat the symptoms of thyroid eye disease and is administered in a series of eight infusions over the course of six months. These infusions were developed to help reduce some of the symptoms that can occur due to TED including pain, redness, swelling, and double vision.
