Tepezza (teprotumumab-trbw) is an FDA-approved medication designed to treat Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), a rare, progressive autoimmune disorder associated with symptoms such as eye bulging, pain, and vision impairment. Developed as a groundbreaking solution, Tepezza offers relief for many individuals suffering from this debilitating condition. However, recent reports have linked Tepezza to unexpected side effects, most notably hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing in the ears), raising serious concerns among patients and healthcare providers.
If you or a loved one experienced hearing loss, tinnitus, or other auditory side effects after using Tepezza, you may be eligible to join a lawsuit against the drug's manufacturer. Class Action 101 is here to support those affected, offering experienced legal representation to help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Tepezza (generic name: teprotumumab-trbw) is a prescription medication used to treat Thyroid Eye Disease (TED), also known as Graves’ orbitopathy. TED is an autoimmune condition often associated with thyroid disorders, where inflammation causes the muscles and fatty tissues behind the eyes to swell. This can result in symptoms like eye bulging, double vision, pain, and in severe cases, vision loss.
Approved by the FDA in 2020, Tepezza was the first drug developed specifically for TED and works by targeting and blocking a protein called IGF-1R (insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor). By blocking this protein, Tepezza helps reduce the inflammation and symptoms associated with TED, providing relief for patients with moderate to severe cases of the disease.
Despite its effectiveness for many patients, Tepezza has recently been linked to serious side effects, particularly hearing-related issues, such as hearing loss and tinnitus. These side effects have led to lawsuits from patients who believe the risks were not properly disclosed, sparking concerns about the drug's safety profile.
While Tepezza has been heralded as a breakthrough for TED patients, clinical studies and patient reports are now revealing a potential link between the medication and permanent auditory damage. Some patients have reported symptoms ranging from mild tinnitus to severe, irreversible hearing loss after using Tepezza. These alarming side effects were not sufficiently highlighted by the manufacturer in their initial safety disclosures, leading patients to unknowingly risk long-term hearing damage.
Researchers have estimated that a significant percentage of patients receiving Tepezza experience some degree of hearing impairment. Yet, warnings of these risks remain minimal, leaving patients without the information they need to make informed decisions about their treatment options.
If you've suffered hearing loss or auditory side effects after taking Tepezza, you may feel overwhelmed, but you don’t have to navigate this alone. Filing a lawsuit is not only a step toward financial recovery but also a chance to hold the responsible parties accountable for their actions. By taking legal action, you may be able to secure compensation to cover:
Medical Expenses: Including hearing tests, assistive devices (hearing aids), and other related treatments.
Pursuing legal action can also help raise awareness about the potential risks associated with Tepezza, encouraging pharmaceutical companies to be more transparent about the safety of their products.
