Tepezza and Hearing Problems: What You Need to Know

Published on: June 10, 2023 | By Clay Hodges

Horizon Therapeutics (Horizon) makes a drug called Tepezza (teprotumumab-trbw). It is a relatively new drug approved by the FDA to treat the symptoms of Thyroid Eye Disease (TED). These symptoms include bulging of the eyes, swelling, eye pain, double vision and redness of the eyes. TED is a rare medical condition involving inflammation of the tissue around the eyes.

When made available in early 2020, Tepezza was the first FDA-approved drug to treat TED. Despite being approved by the FDA, many patients who have received this medicine have reported various side effects. One of the more notable is that many patients have started complaining about hearing problems.

I was involved in a case for the faulty hip replacements. Clay Hodges represented me. I can't say enough about how much he has helped me. Clay was able to win multiple settlements on my behalf with most of them being the maximum amount able to be awarded. Matt J.

Clay, thank you sir for making a disheartening experience at least palatable, you and your staff were honest, caring and understanding through the entire process of my wife’s hip replacements, while monetary settlements never make the pain and suffering end, it sometimes is the only way people can fight back to right a wrong.
