We are Investigating Claims that Amiodarone Manufacturers Knew of the Dangers

We are currently investigating claims that although the drug was approved by the FDA as a last resort medication for a severe disorder called ventricular arrhythmia, PAR and Wyeth promoted the use of Amiodarone off-label for patients with atrial fibrillation. In fact, estimates are that more than 2 million scripts were written in ONE YEAR for atrial fibrillation and other heart conditions that the drug was not approved to treat.
