What Is Tepezza?
Tepezza, (generic name teprotumumab-trbw), is a drug used to treat active thyroid eye disease.
Teprotumumab-trbw is the first prescription drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is the only and widely used treatment for thyroid eye disease (TED), also called Graves’ eye disease. The drug can only be given as an IV infusion and can only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional.
Tepezza solution is administered via infusion. While it is considered safe and effective by many, there are risks associated with its use.
These risks related to Tepezza use include but are not limited to:
a. skin rash and itchiness (mild allergic reaction)
b. infusion reactions such as swelling of the eyes, hands, feet, mouth, and throat (more severe allergic reaction).
Drug interactions can also happen so it is very important, especially for patients taking different medications to discuss all potential risks with their doctors before starting treatment with Tepezza.
Patients who have experienced hearing loss while using the drug may be eligible for compensation through a Tepezza lawsuit. If you believe that Tepezza caused your hearing loss, call (800) 956-9876 to get a free case review. You may be entitled to damages including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. A qualified attorney can review the specifics of your case and determine if you have a valid claim.
What Is Thyroid Eye Disease (TED)?
Thyroid Eye Disease (TED) is a progressive autoimmune disease associated with hyperthyroidism (a condition associated with the overproduction of hormones by the thyroid gland) in which the muscles and the fatty tissue located behind the eyes become inflamed.
TED symptoms include pain, swelling and inflammation of the eyelids, protrusion of the eyes (preventing the eyes from closing), and double vision. Tepezza infusions are considered the first treatment to manage the symptoms of TED.
Research linking Tepezza with the potential of suffering from permanent hearing loss may be greater than what was previously studied.
Teprotumumab is the first and only thyroid eye disease treatment. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in January 2020. Before the FDA approval, two clinical trials conducted reported otologic symptoms in 10% of the participants.
In a more recent study, clinical trial observations show as high as 65% of the participants reported having hearing-related side effects from using the drug.
Patients must discuss all potential risks with their doctors and other healthcare professionals before starting Tepezza treatment.
Can Tepezza Cause Hearing Loss?
Yes. Some patients who are using or have received Tepezza infusions to treat thyroid eye disease have reported suffering from hearing related injuries.
What Are The Side Effects Of Tepezza?
Tepezza use has been linked to causing hearing-related ear injury and side effects such as:
a. Hyperacusis, a hearing disorder where patients become sensitive to sound
b. tinnitus which is often described as “ringing in the ears”
c. hypoacusis or partial loss of hearing
d. permanent loss of hearing
Other side effects that may occur while taking teprotumumab:
Dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, headache, hair loss, muscle spasms, feelings of tiredness or weakness, abdominal pain, blurred vision, flushed, dry skin, increased hunger, and increased thirst.
The use of the medication could also exacerbate certain medical conditions. It may increase blood sugar levels and exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease.
Patients must discuss all potential risks with their doctors before starting treatment to ensure that they are aware of all the dangers associated with taking the medication. Your doctor can answer any concerns you may have and provide information on how to manage potential side effects.
Many patients using Tepezza are at risk of suffering potentially permanent hearing loss and other serious side effects. If you believe that Tepezza caused your hearing loss, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit and make the manufacturer accountable for your suffering and seek financial compensation.
Patients experiencing any negative side effects from prescription drugs are also encouraged to report the incident to the FDA MedWatch.
