The FDA recalled Propulsid, which was prescribed to adults for nighttime relief of severe heartburn, in March 2000 after the drug had been linked to numerous heart-related problems. During the seven years it was on the market, over 30 million US residents used the drug, meaning that over 30 million people were put at increased risk for heart problems.
Cases of heart arrhythmias, including ventricular fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias and torsades de pointe and QT prolongation, cardiac arrest and sudden death were observed in people taking Propulsid. In rare cases, seizures were reported. Nervous system side effects included headaches, dizziness and fatigue. One hundred eleven deaths, including the deaths of eleven children, have been linked to Propulsid. If you, or someone you know, was injured or you know someone who died as a result of using Propulsid, please obtain a Free Consultation by submitting our online form, or by calling 1-800-543-9859.
