Propulsid

Propulsid, which was at one time marketed by Janssen Pharmaceutica, has been removed from the U.S. drug markets since mid 2000. However, litigation, including large class action suits against the makers and marketers of Propulsid, are still ongoing. The drug, which original intended as a treatment for severe gastrointestinal reflux disease, was linked to over eighty deaths and over three hundred cases of potentially fatal heart arrhythmia cases before being voluntarily taken off the market in July of 2000. Since then, other patients taking the drug previously have noted progressively worsened states of health linked to the drug, which include a large number of babies that were provided the medication, against the manufacturers recommended uses. The drug also posed huge risks for drug interactions resulting in seriously adverse events, which led to varied forms of acute and chronic heart issues.

Fast Facts

Propulsid was available in the United States following FDA approval in 1993 until the makers of the drug voluntarily removed it from the market in 2000.
