Kidney Failure Lawsuits
Lawsuits Against Drug Companies After Kidney Failure Caused by a Dangerous Drug
In recent years, medical research has shown links between acute kidney failure and drugs such as Fleet Phospho-soda, Fleet Accu-Prep, Fleet EZ- Prep, Wal-Phosphate products, CVS brand bowel cleansers, OsmoPrep, Visicol and Trasylol. If you or a loved one has suffered any type of impaired kidney function after using any of these or related products, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
Jeffrey D. DeCarlo, P.A. - Experienced Attorney for Dangerous Drug Cases
An experienced attorney focusing on dangerous drugs cases, I was the first attorney in Florida to file a lawsuit against C.B. Fleet Company, Inc. The lawsuit charged C.B. Fleet with knowingly keeping a dangerous product on the market and concealing important safety information.
That lawsuit - and others I have filed since then - show that C.B. Fleet knew or should have known that its product increases the risk of acute kidney failure when it is used in a double dose as part of a pre-colonoscopy bowel-cleansing regimen.

The Signs of Kidney Dysfunction
If you or a family member has used a product like Fleet Phospho-soda, OsmoPrep, Visicol or another oral sodium phosphate product as a bowel-cleansing regimen prior to colonoscopy or colon-rectal surgery, you and your healthcare provider should stay alert to the development of any of the following:
- Impaired kidney or renal function
- Elevated creatine level
- Decreased glomular filtration rate
- Acute kidney or renal failure
- Chronic kidney or renal failure
- End-stage kidney or renal disease
At the first sign of impaired kidney function, you should seek immediate and professional health care. It is also a good idea to seek advice from a knowledgeable products liability lawyer, to find out if you may be able to get financial compensation for any necessary illness you suffer.
