Approved in September 1998, Arava (leflunomide) was intended to relieve symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. So far, Arava anti-inflammatory drug has been prescribed to over 1.5 million people since its 1998 arrival, but has been linked to up to 22 deaths in addition to 130 cases of severe liver problems. A profitable drug for Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Arava made $225 million in worldwide sales for 2001 alone. Prior to Arava most rheumatoid arthritis sufferers used methotrexate for treatment relief. When Arava was approved, the FDA failed to distinguish an increased effectiveness with the drug to treat rheumatoid arthritis but wanted to allow for a more extensive choice for the patients. The approval of Arava has been controversial due to the reported dangers associated to the drug and its inability to treat rheumatoid arthritis sufferers any better than previous methods. The death rate is 33 times higher when using Arava than when using methotrexate.

Choosing a Lawyer

Should you choose a large lawyer or a small lawyer:
The size of a law firm has no relation to how well your case will be taken up. A large law firm may seem well staffed and having a great office, but what you must see is whether they will take out enough time and effort towards your case. Large firms receive large cases that would figure above smaller cases in their priority list. A law firm with over 10 lawyers on its rolls can be considered a large firm.

Find a lawyer with whom you are comfortable:
Your interaction with your lawyer will require you to shed a lot of information about yourself and others around you. Choose a lawyer who you are comfortable with, and whom you can trust personally as well as professionally. You must have confidence in your lawyer and work with him/her to bring out the important points in your case. If you are not comfortable talking to your lawyer, you could be withdrawing certain information that might prove crucial to the case. Some lawyers will charge you for an initial meeting, but still do not hesitate to pay this fee for a second or third time to a different lawyer if you are not comfortable with the earlier ones.
