Testosterone therapy lawsuits are being filed in different parts of the United States. These lawsuits are being filed against the manufacturers of medications designed to raise the levels of testosterone for those with ‘low-T.’ Low-T is a condition whereby men have experienced a depletion of their testosterone levels and they are suffering as a result. Unfortunately, several different studies have concluded that men who are undergoing testosterone replacement therapy, or TRT, face a higher risk of heart attacks, strokes and death.
It’s possible that hundreds of thousands of men could one day encounter the need to file testosterone therapy lawsuits. That’s because reports indicate that these medications have generated billions of dollars in revenue for these manufacturers in recent years. Making many professional worry that these medications are being used widely and perhaps by men who do not need them or who should not use them in some situations.
