Oxbryta Recall Information

On September 26, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Pfizer, the manufacturer of Oxbryta, had issued a voluntary recall of the medication.

This recall was initiated due to recent studies that showed an increased risk of VOCs and death in patients taking Oxbryta compared to those taking a placebo.  

Oxbryta Use and Increased Health Risks

Studies have shown a possible connection between Oxbryta use and an increased risk of VOCs, a painful and dangerous complication of sickle cell disease. VOCs happen when sickled red blood cells block blood flow, causing severe pain and potentially damaging organs.

The possible link between Oxbryta and these complications raises questions about whether patients were adequately informed of the medication's risks.

What Is a Vaso-Occlusive Crisis (VOC)?

A VOC, also known as a pain crisis, is a common and serious complication of sickle cell disease. It occurs when sickled red blood cells obstruct blood flow to tissues and organs.

Symptoms of a VOC can include:

  • Severe pain, often in the bones, chest, and abdomen;
  • Swelling in the hands and feet;
  • Fever;
  • Fatigue; and
  • Shortness of breath.

Symptoms To Watch Out For

If you've been taking Oxbryta, it's important to be aware of the potential symptoms of VOCs and other complications. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • Sudden onset of severe pain,
  • Swelling in the hands or feet,
  • Fever,
  • Difficulty breathing,
  • Chest pain, and
  • Changes in vision.

Oxbryta Lawsuits

Patients who experienced VOCs, other health problems, or the death of a loved one after taking Oxbryta are taking legal action against the drug's manufacturer.

They claim the manufacturer failed to properly warn about the potential risks. These lawsuits seek to hold the manufacturer responsible and secure compensation for medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.
