AVODART CANADA-WIDE SETTLEMENT


April 30, 2021 - A former class action regarding Avodart has been
discontinued and abandoned against the drug manufacturer (GlaxoSmithKline)
regarding allegations that using Avodart can cause high grade prostate
cancer, and permanent or temporary sexual dysfunction. These allegations
were not proven in Court.  The Avodart class action has been fully
discontinued.

 

However, GlaxoSmithKline has agreed to settle (on an individual basis)
certain qualifying legal claims made by Canadian residents who (1) have used
Avodart and (2) were subsequently diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer.

The same individual compensation process is currently underway and the
deadline to apply for individual compensation is July 28, 2021.  No
individual claims can be submitted after July 28, 2021. If you have been
diagnosed with high grade prostate cancer and previously used Avodart,
please contact our law firm ASAP.

 

For more information, you should immediately email our law firm at:
<mailto:Avodart at merchantlaw.com> Avodart at merchantlaw.com with details
regarding your high grade prostate cancer and Avodart usage.  Please also
provide your full contact information. [You may also call our law office for
a free initial consultation without obligation, at 306-653-7756, regarding
Avodart compensation claims from anywhere in Canada.]
