Chantix is a smoking cessation medication manufactured by Pfizer that has been associated with an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and suicide. Also known as Champix, this Pfizer drug is prescribed by doctors to patients looking to end their addiction to smoking. The Chantix lawyers at Carey & Danis have learned that there are certain harmful side effects from the drug that seeks to lower cravings by reducing the pleasurable sensations caused by smoking. One of these harmful Chantix side effects that Pfizer failed to warn consumers about is the increased risk of suicide and suicidal thought. If you have fallen victim to one of these side effects, contact a Chantix attorney at Carey & Danis immediately to discuss your case.

In pharmaceutical drug cases, such as Chantix, the victims right to recovery hinges upon whether or not the manufacturer adequately warned of the risks inherent in the drug. All prescription drugs have risks, however many times the manufacturer fails to adequately test for particular side effects. In more egregious circumstances, the manufacturer knows of a particular side effect but simply fails to warn. In a case where the lawyers at Carey & Danis knew of a risk but failed to warn, the victim is entitled to compensation for the injuries suffered.

The Chantix attorneys at Carey & Danis have experience litigating cases against the major pharmaceutical manufacturers, such as Pfizer. It is because of this experience that we have chosen to pursue Chantix cases on behalf of our clients. Recently, the FDA has stated that there is a link between Chantix and psychotic episodes. Pfizer countered this allegation blaming the association on nicotine withdrawal. However, FDA noted that there is an increased association between Chantix use and psychotic episodes seen in patients continuing smoking, completely debunking Pfizer's attempted defense of its smoking cessation drug Chantix.

The side effects of Chantix include the following:

• Changes in dreaming
• Depressive behavior
• Possible increased risk of suicide
• Suicidal thoughts
