Gadolinium is a contrast agent used when taking an MRI. However, an overdose or allergic reaction to Gadolinium can be very dangerous, and even deadly. As it takes over eighteen months for problems to develop, you may have no idea why you are even sick in the first place.
The side effects of Gadolinium were unknown until 2000 when the Minneapolis Star Tribune shed some much-needed light on a terrible situation. With over one hundred thousand MRIs in Minnesota alone last year, problems resulting from Gadolinium are on the rise.
Although the FDA has black boxed the drug, giving it the highest possible warning a drug can have, it is still being used. It is so dangerous that in time, it will probably be pulled from the market, but until then, people will continue to look for a way to protect their rights.
Taking Gadolinium can result in a number of injuries and conditions. It often leads to a thickening of the skin, or fibrotic scarring, and other skin and connective tissue diseases. It can also lead to nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, chronic liver diseases, kidney problems, and renal failure.
Gadolinium is just one of many defective drugs for which we handle pharmaceutical litigation. With an extensive medical malpractice practice as well, we are not afraid to take on negligent drug companies and health care providers, holding them responsible for their actions.
