Androcur and Derives of progesterone
Madam, sir,
I have been informed of the case of many people who have developed meningiomas following the consumption of the drug androcur, one of its generics and/or drugs derived from progesterone.
My office knows perfectly the litigation linked to health products and more particularly the cases in which many victims have similar disorders and find themselves faced with the interests of a powerful laboratory.
The brand new "Méningiomes Association due to Cyproterone acetate, helps victims and taking into account other molecules" (AMAVEA), represented by its president Mrs. Emmanuelle Mignaton, came to ask me to assist her in her efforts.
Do not hesitate to contact AMAVEA: Madame Emmanuelle HUET-MIGNATON, president of AMAVEA, and Mrs. Nathalie GRILLLOT, secretary in AMAVEA, are at your disposal to help you in your efforts. Their contact details are 06 07 58 67 96 and email contact@amavea.org. The association's website is www.https: //amavea.org.
In addition, in order to allow health authorities to assess the importance of these effects, but also to allow their effective care, I invite you to make a pharmacovigilance report with the National Medicines Safety Agency (ANSM).
These reports aim to group all the undesirable effects likely to be linked to a drug. They will make it possible to know the extent of the impact that the drug can have on your respective lives and generate a new update of information.
You can make this declaration of pharmacovigilance through your doctors or on the internet at the following address:

once this report has been made, you will be able to send me a copy with your entire medical file.
We are already supporting many victims of the medication Androcur or medicines derived from progesterone in compensation procedures which aim to have the responsibility of the Bayer laboratory recognized.
Actions can also be carried out against the various drug prescribers according to the therapeutic indication which has been given.
The first legal actions will be launched in the coming weeks. This is a decisive first step that will allow the appointment of an expert so that the link between the consumption of the drug and the attacks is recognized but also as evaluated by your damages.
Before initiating these legal proceedings, it is essential to bring together a solid file which will allow proof of the prescription of the drug as well as the reality of your attacks.
My office is ready to accompany you from this first step to help you get these medical documents with the various practitioners who have followed you. All the details will be given to you according to the particularities of each person's files.
I would like to reassure you here on the question of financing legal proceedings: I used to intervene in defense of victims of bodily injury which are in difficult medical and financial situations.
The fees of my office take it into account and we will find together mechanisms to support all or part of the costs of procedures, in particular through insurance legal protection or legal aid (if applicable).
These questions of procedural costs should not be likely to restrict your actions: contact my office to discuss your personal situations. I do not charge the time of constitution of the file and, once the file is complete, we will decide on a legal strategy and a precise fee agreement will be proposed to you.
I remain, with my collaborator Guillaume Bruneau-Queyreix, at your disposal for any additional information:
- By email: cjo@dante-avocats.fr or gbq@dante-avocats.fr
- By phone on 01 43 22 44 53.
Do not hesitate to contact us for any difficulty relating to the constitution of your medical file or for any general question relating to these issues. You can also consult the website of my firm http://www.dante-avocats.fr .
Please receive, madam, sir, the expression of my sincere greetings.
Charles Joseph-Oudin,
Court lawyer
