Tepezza Hearing Loss Lawsuit
At Flint Cooper, we are committed to upholding the rights of individuals who have been adversely affected by Tepezza, a drug that is prescribed to patients suffering from Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). Horizon Therapeutics, the manufacturer of Tepezza, is accused of deliberately withholding information regarding the risks associated with the use of this drug, namely hearing loss and tinnitus.
This disregard for the well-being of those who have been prescribed Tepezza is especially tragic, as what was thought to be a groundbreaking treatment for conditions affecting one sense, vision, may have ultimately led to the decline of another sense, hearing, for a significant number of patients.
If you have been prescribed Tepezza and believe that you have suffered hearing damage as a result, you may be entitled to compensation. We encourage you to schedule a free consultation with Flint Cooper at +1 618.288.4777 to discuss your legal options and potential recourse.

Tepezza Approval & Hearing-Related Risks
In January of 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted approval to Tepezza as the sole drug authorized for the treatment of Thyroid Eye Disease. The drug is administered intravenously to help alleviate symptoms of TED, such as vision loss, double vision, bulging eyes and many other symptoms.
After approval, the drug was rigorously evaluated in two clinical trials to ensure the drug was safe and effective. Initial findings reported that hearing-related side effects were only experienced by 10% of patients, but recent studies indicate a much higher risk, which is a concern for a considerable number of individuals nationwide who have received Tepezza infusions. This recent study found that nearly 82% of the 27 patients who participated reported some form of hearing-related side effects while using Tepezza. While many of those patients were able to report that these side-effects had subsided weeks after stopping Tepezza infusions, five patients reported long-term side effects or even permanent hearing loss.
Do I Qualify To File a Tepezza Lawsuit?
If you have experienced hearing loss or tinnitus after receiving Tepezza infusions, you may qualify to file a Tepezza hearing loss lawsuit, but only a licensed Tepezza attorney can determine whether or not you qualify.
Depending on which state you live in, the statute of limitations for a Tepezza lawsuit can range from two to four years, so time may be limited. Contact our experienced Tepezza attorneys today.
