New Jersey Dangerous Drug Lawyers Discuss Abilify Lawsuits
Abilify, one of the most profitable prescription drugs in America, is prescribed for people battling depression and bipolar disorder. But the anti-psychotic drug is now being cited as a possible cause of compulsive gambling, eating, shopping, and sex, causing great harm to the people it is supposed to help.
Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed nationwide against the makers of the drug, Bristol-Myers Squib and Otsuka Pharmaceuticals. Court filings reflect the many sad stories of victims who have lost their fortunes to gambling, lost their children, gotten involved in prostitution, and so on.
While Europe issued compulsive behavior warnings about Abilify in 2012, it took until 2016 for the FDA to do the same. The FDA announcement warned that the drug could cause compulsive or uncontrollable urges to gamble, binge eat, shop, or have sex. Abilify, whose scientific name is aripiprazole, is also sold as Abilify Maintena, Aristada, and is offered generically.
