Limbrel Lawsuits
Limbrel is a product that is marketed and sold as a “medical food.” It is prescribed for the management of the symptoms of osteoarthritis. As of December 2017, the FDA received mounting reports of Limbrel users developing two serious medical conditions – drug-induced liver damage and a lung problem known as hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

What is Limbrel?
Limbrel is the brand name for a product known as flavocoxid, which is a combination of plant compounds called flavonoids. Limbrel is a medical food rather than a dietary supplement which means it requires a prescription. It is used to treat osteoarthritis by reducing swelling and providing pain relief associated with the deterioration of cartilage in the joints.
What is Happening with Limbrel?
Limbrel has been linked to serious, possibly life-threatening medical conditions. The FDA is investigating the matter after receiving 200 reports about adverse health events from patients taking Limbrel. Some of these reports were sufficient to demonstrate a link between Limbrel and the occurrence of liver injury and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is a condition of the lungs in which the lungs become swollen and irritated due to an allergic reaction from dust, fungus or chemicals.
The FDA requested information from the manufacturer, Primus Pharmaceuticals, about the product in November, 2017. The FDA expressed concerns relating to the safety of Limbrel and advised a voluntary recall, which was declined by Primus. In December, 2017, the FDA made a formal request for Primus to issue a recall of all Limbrel products (both Limbrel250 and Limbrel500 with or without zinc) due to the risk of liver damage. As the investigation continues, the FDA recommends that any patients currently taking Limbrel stop taking the product immediately.
