The Reno Gazette-Journal reported that jurors have awarded $99 million in punitive damages in the Nevada drug injury case against pharmaceutical giant Wyeth. The three drug injury victims claimed that the hormone replacement drugs created by Wyeth caused them to develop breast cancer.
A Wyeth lawyer said the decision would be appealed, saying the decision is inconsistent with other drug injury cases involving hormone therapy. The Nevada drug injuries were the result of Premarin and Prempro, hormone therapies aimed at easing the symptoms of menopause.
