Bravelle Fertility Drug

Bravelle (known generically as urofollitropin) is a fertility drug administered via injection. According to the Bravelle website (bravelle.com), it contains follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone activity which stimulate ovaries to make eggs.

Bravelle Recall

In September 2015, Ferring Pharmaceuticals announced a recall of Bravelle after it was discovered that certain lots of Bravelle were found to be of reduced potency before their expiration date. A reduction in potency potentially affects the therapeutic effect of the drug. The company offered a reimbursement for patients who purchased the product in the United States between March 27, 2014 and October 15, 2015.

Bravelle Lawsuits

bravelleivftreatmentA Bravelle lawsuit has been filed in New York against Ferring Pharmaceuticals, alleging the company breached express and implied warranties and violated New York General Business Law. The suit, filed by a couple who used the fertility treatment, alleges Ferring did not take appropriate steps to ensure Bravelle was effective for its intended use. The lawsuit (case number 2:16-CV-01857) seeks class action status.

Meanwhile, a class action lawsuit has also been filed in British Columbia, by a couple who says they saved for years to afford IVF treatment, only to have their hopes of having a child ruined by an ineffective drug. Although Ferring offered to reimburse the cost of the drug itself—around $2,500 according to CTV News (2/16/16), the couple says that the entire cost of IVF treatment was $14,000 and they should be reimbursed for the whole IVF cycle because they would not have done it if they knew the drug would not work.
