About the Belviq Lawsuit

Belviq (lorcaserin) is used to help control obesity by reducing hunger urges. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that regular use of Belviq could increase the risk of cancer.

Three types of cancer have been predominately linked to Belviq use, including:

• Colorectal cancer
• Lung cancer
• Pancreatic cancer

As evidence of Belviq’s link to cancer mounted, the FDA decided to force Eisai to recall it in 2020. The drug manufacturer has complied with the recall.

What are the Risks of Taking Belviq?

An extensive double-blind study that used 12,000 participating patients across five years of research found that Belviq users were at a notably higher risk of cancer than patients who took a placebo. Given that this conclusion was drawn in only five years, it calls into question what sort of testing Eisai did initially before marketing Belviq. It might be found that inadequate research was conducted and that the drug never should have been sold in the first place if it had such a high chance of causing cancer.

Amplify Your Voice & File Your Claim

Belviq’s manufacturer could owe you significant compensation that pays for damages associated with your cancer treatments, lost wages, pain, suffering, shortened life expectancy, and so on. But they won’t pay you anything unless you demand it – and fight for it. Our Belviq mass tort lawyers are here to make you heard after you took Belviq and were later diagnosed with cancer.
