Hair Loss Drugs - Taxotere

Whilst chemotherapy drugs are expected to eradicate or slow the growth of cancer cellular material with no risk of everlasting side effects, recent lawsuits from women across the country allege that one of the most widely used chemotherapy drugs in the U. S. is usually creating long term hair reduction, or alopecia, in unsuspecting cancer patients. While frequently used on women suffering from breast cancer, almost all types of cancer sufferers are positioned at a higher risk of persistent alopecia if they have got been treated with pharmaceutic conglomerate Sanofi-Aventis’ drug, Taxotere. Taxotere is a superb chemotherapy medication that has prominently been used to treat advanced or metastasized breast malignancy. Estimates show that approximately 75% of women who have, or formerly got, breast cancer were treated with Taxotere under doctor’s suggestions without being warned of the substantially increased chance of suffering everlasting hair loss. Lawsuits allege that the drug’s manufacturers understood about the likelihood of long lasting alopecia in users as early as the 1990s, yet deliberately hidden it to downplay the risks associated with Taxotere.

Additionally, statements from a company whistle-blower allege that if you take benefit from vulnerable women’s insufficient knowledge about the medication and incentivizing doctors with “kickbacks” to prescribe the drug, Sanofi-Aventis was able to drastically increase Taxotere profits from $424 mil in 2000 to $1. 2 billion in 2005. Recent lawsuits also beg the question of why breast cancer patients had been not recommended similar medications on the market that did not have a risk of persistent alopecia, as the existence of alternative chemotherapy drugs that were at least as—if not more—effective than Taxotere has been long founded.

Taxotere Hair Loss

According to recent litigation, Sanofi-Aventis only commenced to alert patients from the risk of long lasting hair loss after being mandated to do this by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2015. Even although patients outside the U.S. were warned regarding long term baldness in as early as 2005. This ensures that because U.S. doctors and patients didn’t know that taxotere was associated as a permanent hair loss drug.

During chemotherapy, hair loss is a popular symptom, but is expected to grow back inside 3-6 months of halting treatment. Approximately 10-15% of ladies who used Taxotere throughout treatment reported no hair growth for as long since ten years after halting treatment.

Alopecia come in many different forms, including:

  • Non-existent hair growth under arms or around genitals
  • Lack of eyelashes
  • Lack of eyebrows
  • Baldness
  • Total hair loss on both the scalp and body

Absolute hair loss on the scalp and body is a special form of alopecia (hair loss) called alopecia universalis, and is the most frequent hair loss condition reported with Taxotere use.
