Those Seriously Hurt By Permax May File a Possible Lawsuit

Kahn Gauthier Swick is investigating any possible Permax lawsuit against Amarin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the manufacturer of the prescription drug Permax (pergolide mesylate), to recover for injuries suffered by some patients taking the Permax.

Permax is prescribed for patients suffering from Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder that causes shaking, freezing, and other movement disorders.

Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder resulting from the degeneration of neurons in a region of the brain that controls movement. The degeneration creates a shortage of the brain-signaling chemical known as dopamine, causing the movement impairments that characterize the disease. In the United States, at least 500,000 people are believed to suffer from Parkinson's disease, and about 50,000 new cases are reported annually, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
