Liver Problems and Ketek

Liver Damage Reported in Ketek Users

Although it is more rare than other side effects, liver damage and liver failure are very serious and potentially fatal side effects that may occur in those taking Ketek.  In 2006, the first cases of death due to liver damage were reported in conjunction with Ketek.  As of April of 2008, Ketek has been linked with 18 deaths and 134 cases of reported liver damage. In response, the FDA has issued public safety reports and required Sanofi-Aventis to place additional warning information on the Ketek label. The FDA continues to research and monitor Ketek, especially after reports and legal action taken in relation to irresponsible and falsified clinical trial conduct on the part of at least one medical researcher.

Why Does Ketek Cause Liver Damage?

Ketek is metabolized primarily in the liver and carried in the bile produced by the liver. Having direct contact with the liver, Ketek's chemical make-up has an impact on the liver tissue and function.

Has There Been a Ketek Recall?

At this time, Ketek remains on the market and is available as a prescription treatment.  The FDA has conducted several reviews of questionable studies and clinical trials, and has issued public health alerts regarding the safety of Ketek.  The FDA has come under fire from advocates and some physicians and medical researchers who say that Ketek is unsafe and should not continue to be available. However, there has been no Ketek recall yet.
