Men who have suffered a stroke or heart attack while using testosterone therapy products are encouraged to seek legal counsel to learn more about their rights and about filing a Kansas testosterone therapy lawsuit. In 2011, more than five million prescriptions were written for these treatments, which are available as a gel, pill, patch, cream or injection. Although testosterone therapy products are designed to help men who are allegedly suffering from the side effects of low testosterone levels, many patients have come forward to file lawsuits against the manufacturers, claiming that the products increase a man’s risk of stroke, heart attack, and death.

Are Testosterone Treatments Safe?
There are 10 well-known testosterone treatment therapies available today in the U.S., including:
- Testopel
- Depo-Testosterone
- Androderm
- Bio-T-Gel
- Striant
- Axiron
- Fortesta
- Testim
- AndroGel
- Delatestryl
Men who are filing testosterone lawsuits claim that these treatments are not safe and may cause life-threatening complications. According to studies, certain conditions such as prostate cancer, sleep apnea, congestive heart failure, high blood counts, and benign prostatic hypertrophy may worsen in men who are using testosterone replacement products. Additionally, a man may be more likely to suffer from stroke, heart attack, or death if he is currently living with high cholesterol levels, artery blockage, diabetes, obesity, or plaque buildup.
Most testosterone treatment therapies may cause mild side effects such as headache, vomiting, jaundice, and nausea. Those who are currently filing lawsuits against the manufacturers allege that they also experienced anxiety, depression, anger, and other mood and mental changes. Other possible side effects include excess water retention, edema, and a decrease in sperm production.

Testosterone Lawsuits Pending in the U.S.
Men who have allegedly suffered from heart attack and stroke may consider filing a Kansas testosterone therapy lawsuit against the manufacturers. Several companies are currently accused of failing to warn medical communities and the public of the possibility for their products to increase a patient’s risk of death, heart attack, and stroke. Plaintiffs claim that they endured physical and emotional damage while using the therapies, and some family members are working to pursue wrongful death claims on behalf of loved ones that allegedly died during or following treatment.
Plaintiffs claim that the manufacturers have the responsibility to adequately and thoroughly test their products before making them available for public use. Many feel as though companies disregarded this responsibility and neglected to analyze the possible complications that their treatments could have for men with cardiovascular disease, blocked arteries, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, or those who were obese.
