Prexige Class Action

Merchant Law Group LLP is initiating class proceedings against Novartis Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Prexige (also known as lumiracoxib. Lumiracoxib belongs to the family of medications known as COX-2 inhibiting nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).)

Prexige was approved in Canada in November 2006 for use by adults. Health Canada has ordered the anti-inflammatory drug Prexige off the market, citing the potential for serious liver-related adverse events. Prexige is a medicine which is used in dysmenorrhoea, osteoarthritis, and dental pain relief.

If you, or anyone you know has been using Prexige please have them contact Merchant Law Group LLP, either by completing the form below, or you can contact one of our lawyers, Dr. Wei Wu.
