The FDA recently approved a new drug called Tepezza for the treatment of thyroid eye disease. But reports have linked the drug to hearing loss in some patients. In response to this, a Tepezza lawsuit was filed against the drug’s manufacturer, Horizon Therapeutics. The lawsuit is seeking compensation for those affected by the drug and is currently underway.
On this page, we will take a look at the facts of the Tepezza lawsuit, the settlement details, the implications of the lawsuit, and how to file a claim if you’ve been affected by the drug. We expect large Tepezza cash settlements to pay these claims.
Introduction to the Tepezza Lawsuit
A Tepezza lawsuit was filed in April 2021 against Horizon Therapeutics, the drug’s manufacturer, by a group of patients who experienced hearing loss after taking the drug. The lawsuit alleges that the company failed to warn patients of the potential side effects of the drug, which include hearing loss.
The lawsuit seeks to secure compensation for those affected by the drug, including medical expenses and pain and suffering. It also seeks to hold the company accountable for its failure to provide adequate warnings.
What is Tepezza and why is it linked to hearing loss?
Tepezza is a prescription medication used to treat thyroid eye disease. It is an injectable form of a medication called teprotumumab, which works by blocking certain proteins that cause inflammation in the eye muscles.
The drug has been linked to hearing loss in some patients, which is why the Tepezza lawsuit was filed. The lawsuit alleges that the drug’s manufacturer failed to adequately warn patients of the potential risks of taking the drug, including the risk of hearing loss.

What are the facts about the Tepezza lawsuit?
The Tepezza lawsuit was filed in April 2021 in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The lawsuit is a class action, which means that it is open to anyone who has experienced hearing loss after taking the drug.
The lawsuit alleges that the drug’s manufacturer, Horizon Therapeutics, failed to warn patients of the potential risks of taking the drug, including the risk of hearing loss.
Horizon Pharmaceuticals Inc. was aware of hearing loss and other related otologic symptoms in their clinical trials and failed to warn consumers and medical professionals. It reported that during trials, only 10% had a risk of hearing problems associated with Tepezza, however the 2021 Endocrine Society study showed as many as 65% of Tepezza users did suffer from some level of hearing loss or related hearing problems.
The lawsuit seeks to secure compensation for those affected by the drug, including medical expenses and pain and suffering.
What are the details of the settlement?
The Tepezza lawsuit is still ongoing, and a settlement has not yet been reached. However, the parties involved in the lawsuit are currently in negotiations. If a settlement is reached, it will be open to anyone who has experienced hearing loss after taking the drug. We estimate a potential payout of between $48,000 to $230,000. This is only an estimate.
What are the implications of the Tepezza lawsuit?
The Tepezza lawsuit has significant implications for the pharmaceutical industry. If a settlement is reached, it could set a precedent for other drug manufacturers to be more vigilant in providing adequate warnings to their patients. It could also lead to increased scrutiny of the safety of drugs.
