If you or a loved one has been injured as a result of using Oxbryta (voxelotor) for the treatment of sickle cell disease, you may be entitled to compensation.
The drug has been linked to several serious health risks that many patients were not adequately informed about when they began using the drug.
Oxbryta Lawsuit Overview
Oxbryta (voxelotor) is a prescription medication approved to treat sickle cell disease in adults and children. The drug works by increasing hemoglobin's ability to bind with oxygen, which reduces the formation of sickle-shaped red blood cells.
However, recent clinical data has raised concerns about Oxbryta's safety profile, particularly its link to an increased risk of vaso-occlusive crises and fatalities among patients. These crises cause blockages in blood vessels and may lead to:
- Severe pain
- Organ damage
- Stroke
- Death

What Are the Potential Risks of Oxbryta?
We are investigating an increased incidence of vaso-occlusive crises and fatalities among patients that may be linked to Oxybryta.
While the original warning labels for Oxbryta listed common side effects of medication, including headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, fatigue, rash, and fever, they did not specifically mention the risk of severe side effects such as increased vaso-occlusive crises or death.
These crises cause blockages in blood vessels, leading to severe pain, organ damage, stroke, and/or death.
How can I determine if I qualify for an Oxbryta lawsuit?
Eligibility typically involves a history of Oxbryta use followed by the occurrence of a vaso-occlusive crisis with side effects that may include severe pain, organ damage, stroke, or death. Our team can help determine if your case meets the criteria, which may depend on factors such as dosage and duration of use.
If you have been injured after using this medication please contact us immediately to discuss your case.
