An Ephedra Lawyer's Story
My name is Ron Brown, along with my partner Terry Crouppen we founded Brown and Crouppen almost 20 years ago. Today, we are proud to say that we are one of mid-America’s largest personal injury law firms. For some time now we have concentrated a lot of our time and resources in the area of dangerous drug litigation. We have partnered with some of the country’s best drug litigation specialists to create a legal team we feel is second to none. Our team has successfully handled cases involving the prescription drugs Rezulin™, Fen-Phen™ and Lotronex™. We’ve also worked to help people injured by defective Sulzer Orthopedic products. Despite these successes, we believe the problem with prescription and non-prescription drugs, that harm rather then heal, has reached epidemic proportion. Drugs are being rushed to market to cash in on tremendous potential profits, sometimes ignoring plain indications that something is terribly wrong. Here is one of the dangerous drugs we’re looking at right now.

Ephedra™ (ma huang) - a non-prescription stimulant commonly used as an ingredient in weight loss and appetite suppression medications. It’s also found in over-the-counter asthma, cold, allergy, cough and nasal decongestant drugs. A recent study reported in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests a possible link between Ephedra™ use and rapid heart beat, high blood pressure, seizures, heart attacks, and strokes.

Laws protect the rights of consumers with regards to the safety of products when used as directed. While the safety of ephedra has long been debated, manufacturers have continued to profit by misleading the public on the benefits of its use. If you or a family member has suffered health problems or injury because of ephedra, you should seek the guidance of a qualified attorney who has the experience and resources to effectively investigate and substantiate any medical damage caused by the diet supplement. Under product liability laws, you may have a case for negligence, strict liability or breach of warranty.

At Brown & Crouppen, our experienced team of Ephedra lawyers, medical professionals and investigators provides tough, aggressive representation for Ephedra victims and their families. We believe that victims of Ephedra have been harmed because the large companies that manufacture diet drugs and other dietary supplements chose to use Ephedra and failed to warn users of the possible side effects of Ephedra usage.

If you or a family member has been harmed by Ephedra, our attorneys will use every resource at their command to make sure you are compensated for this injustice. Our job is to make the legal process as easy as possible, and to make sure you receive substantial compensation quickly to overcome financial difficulties.

It’s really terrible to read about a prescription drug being recalled because of dangerous side effects, when you’re one of the people taking it. That’s what happened to me a few years ago. I suffer from a chronic disease and my doctor prescribed a drug to help me manage it better. After being on the drug for a while I began to feel weak and reported it to my doctor. I can’t say enough good things about him, he saved my life. He realized that my problems were being caused not by my disease but by the prescription drug that was supposed to be helping me.    CONTINUE
