Pfizer Withdraws OXBRYTA® for Sickle Cell Disease -What's Next?
You May Be Entitled to Compensation
Pfizer's recall of OXBRYTA® has raised serious safety concerns for patients with sickle cell disease. Studies link the drug to increased risks of complications, including vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) and even death. Patients relied on OXBRYTA to manage their condition but instead faced worsening symptoms and severe health issues.
The costs for treating sickle cell disease are already significant, and if OXBRYTA made your condition worse, those expenses can become overwhelming. Keller Postman is here to help you recover compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages caused by OXBRYTA.

What You Need to Know
Oxbryta, an oral, once-daily therapy first approved in 2019 for patients aged 12 and older (expanded to ages 4+ in 2021), was intended to manage sickle cell disease. Common side effects include headaches, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, rash or hives, and fever.
Sickle Cell Disease Symptoms & Complications:
Patients with sickle cell disease may experience frequent pain episodes, anemia (fatigue, paleness, and weakness), jaundice, painful swelling of hands and feet, acute chest syndrome, blood clots, stroke, vision problems, priapism, and organ damage or failure.
What Is a VOC?
Vaso-Occlusive Crises are a common and dangerous complication of sickle cell disease.
These sudden, painful episodes can lead to additional health issues, including arthritis, kidney failure, and stroke. Data from recent studies indicate that patients taking OXBRYTA experienced more frequent VOCs compared to those who did not.
Why was OXBRYTA (voxelotor) withdrawn from the market?
Pfizer voluntarily recalled OXBRYTA after studies indicated an increased risk of complications, including vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs) and fatalities, in patients with sickle cell disease.
Who is eligible to file a claim?
You may be eligible to file a claim if you or a family member were prescribed OXBRYTA and experienced complications such as worsening symptoms, increased VOCs, or other health issues. Families of individuals who have passed away due to complications related to OXBRYTA may also be eligible.
What compensation might I receive?
Compensation may cover medical expenses, costs related to the failure of OXBRYTA to alleviate your symptoms, or damages for health complications caused by the drug. Each case is unique, and our legal team will assess your situation to determine the potential compensation you may be entitled to. Our team of attorneys would not be surprised if successful claimants received hundreds of thousands of dollars.
