Woman can sue pharma firm over steroid
Lorna Savage is also suing doctors who prescribed her the steroid, which she took to treat a rash over a two- year period in the late 1990s, sold under the trade name Deltacortril. She claims she was never warned about the possible side-effects of using the steroid.
Ms Savage, aged 43, from Cobh, Co Cork, claims she developed a serious medical condition, known as avascular necrosis, from using Deltacortril, to treat the rash, which was caused by an inflammation of her blood vessels.
