Retroperitoneal Fibrosis caused by beta blockers?

After going to a head pain management clinic where I was treated with drugs containting Ergotamine (among many other things), I developed a kidney disease called "Retroperitoneal fibrosis." My urologist told me that the kidney disease was caused by the Ergotamine.

Does anyone here know of any law suits associated with this side effect -- class action or otherwise?

• Yes, both ergotamine and methergide (Sansert) can cause this. They also cause other much (honestly) worse things. That's why I have avoided them. NT Flash 08:02:14 07/08/00 (0)
