Hydroxycut and Liver Transplant Surgery
In May 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and pharmaceutical manufacturer Iovate Health Sciences of Ontario recalled the weight loss supplement Hydroxycut because it has been linked to serious liver problems.
The liver is a vital organ needed for survival, so for those patients experiencing liver problems, liver transplant surgery may be needed.
Unfortunately, surgery is not only risky, but it is also expensive, painful, and stressful. That's where we come in. The lawyers here at Anapol Schwartz, who have decades of experience dealing with recalled pharmaceutical products, can help you get the money you need to regain your help and go on to lead a normal life.

Liver transplant surgery is also called liver or hepatic transplantation. Today, doctors understand organ transplants better than ever before, but there's always a significant chance that the patient's body will reject the tissue from the donor organ, causing major complications. Immunosuppressive drugs can help patients avoid such problems, but that leaves the body as defenseless against just about all viruses and bacteria.
To say the least, a lot can go wrong, and on top of the risks, a donor can't always be found to match the patient needing the organ and the surgery, along with the hospital stay, costs thousands of dollars. There are a lot of barriers for Hydroxycut patients who need liver transplant surgery.
