WILMINGTON, Del. (Legal Newsline) – AstraZeneca has received a positive ruling in Delaware in a lawsuit that alleges it failed to warn users of side effects of the blood sugar drug Farxiga.
Judge Sheldon Rennie on April 5 tossed all of the claims of Jeffery and Cynthia Pope against AstraZeneca and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Jeffery alleged Farxiga was responsible for the Fournier’s gangrene – a flesh-eating infection of the genitals.
But Rennie ruled the lawsuit filed by lawyers at Jacobs & Crumplar and Tracey, Fox, King & Walters failed to adequately make that accusation under controlling Texas law.
“Here, the warnings and information that accompanied Farixga’s distribution were approved by the (Food and Drug Administration),” Rennie wrote.
