About Veozah & Liver Injuries

In September 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that Veozah (fezolinetant) may cause serious liver injury. The FDA had approved the medication in May 2023 to treat hot flashes caused by menopause.

One patient who took Veozah experienced signs of liver toxicity within 40 days of taking the medication. Her symptoms disappeared and her liver blood test values returned to normal after she stopped taking the drug.

In December 2024, the FDA added a black box warning advising patients to get more frequent blood testing to check for liver problems, but some patients already suffered harm.

LawFirm.com works with lawyers who have secured over $1.6 billion for everyday people injured by dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and medical devices.
