Since its release onto the market in 1998, Xelox has been linked to numerous serious side effects which has given rise to numerous personal injury lawsuits. In fact, in February 2006, several Xelox patients suddenly died while being treated with a combination of Xelox and another anti-cancer drug, Avastin. Other serious side effects associated with Xelox that have been the subject of lawsuits include:

     
  • severe diarrhea
  • bleeding problems
  • hand-foot syndrome

Xelox users who suffered dangerous side effects may file a lawsuit against Genentech Inc, Xelox’s manufacturer, for their injuries. Genentech, a subsidiary of Roche, may be liable for failing to warn Xelox users of the drug’s dangerous side effects. Should Genentech be found liable in a Xelox lawsuit, the company will have to pay compensation to the injured victim.
