Representing California Victims of Tepezza
California residents who received Tepezza infusions for thyroid eye disease are now facing a harsh reality: permanent hearing damage that was never properly disclosed as a risk. What was meant to treat one condition has created another, potentially more debilitating problem for many patients.
Medical research has revealed that nearly half of all patients who receive Tepezza develop significant hearing problems. This is an alarming statistic that Horizon Therapeutics failed to adequately communicate to patients and doctors.
Walter Clark Legal Group is investigating these cases and fighting for California victims. Our experienced Tepezza attorneys understand how permanent hearing damage impacts every aspect of your life and are committed to securing the compensation you deserve.
If you’ve suffered hearing loss, tinnitus, or other hearing problems after Tepezza infusions, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Don’t wait to learn about your legal options.
The Dangers of Tepezza
Tepezza (teprotumumab) received FDA approval in 2020 as the first treatment specifically designed for thyroid eye disease (TED), an autoimmune condition causing inflammation behind the eyes, resulting in eye bulging, double vision, and pain. The standard treatment consists of eight infusions administered over 24 weeks.
While effective for reducing eye symptoms, Tepezza has been linked to serious, often permanent hearing problems. A groundbreaking 2021 study published in medical journals revealed that 46% of patients developed hearing issues after Tepezza treatment, including permanent hearing loss, tinnitus (constant ringing or buzzing), autophony (abnormally loud perception of one’s own voice), and a persistent feeling of ear fullness.
These problems typically develop after just 3-4 infusions and often don’t improve even after discontinuing treatment. For many California patients, the damage has proven permanent and life-altering.
Despite mounting evidence of these risks, Horizon Therapeutics provided only minimal warnings about potential hearing issues, leaving patients unprepared for the devastating consequences many now face.
Tepezza's Serious Side Effects
California patients who received Tepezza are reporting multiple severe hearing-related side effects that weren’t adequately disclosed. These problems often appear after just a few treatments and may become permanent, dramatically affecting quality of life and daily functioning.
Many experience partial or complete hearing loss that doesn’t improve after stopping treatment.
Patients report persistent ringing, buzzing, or hissing sounds that disrupt sleep and concentration.
Some develop hyperacusis, where normal sounds become painfully loud or distorted.
Hearing damage often affects balance, leading to vertigo and coordination difficulties.
Many victims struggle with social and professional challenges as hearing problems impact communication.
These serious side effects have dramatically altered the lives of California residents who were never properly warned about Tepezza’s risks. Walter Clark Legal Group is dedicated to helping these victims seek the justice and compensation they deserve.
Legal Grounds for Tepezza Claims
The mounting litigation against Horizon Therapeutics centers on several key legal violations. These arguments form the foundation for seeking justice for California patients suffering from Tepezza-induced hearing damage.
Horizon neglected to properly alert patients and doctors about serious hearing risks.
Lawsuits allege Tepezza is fundamentally flawed, causing unacceptable harm to patients
The company allegedly rushed approval without adequately researching long-term effects.
Horizon is accused of promoting benefits while minimizing or concealing dangerous risks.
These legal arguments provide California victims with strong grounds for seeking compensation. Walter Clark Legal Group’s experienced Tepezza attorneys understand how to build compelling cases against pharmaceutical companies that put profits before patient safety.
