On this episode of Cases 4 Causes, Jessica Wieczorkiewicz, an attorney from the Wallace Miller Law Firm in Chicago, discusses the dangers surrounding Suboxone film, an oral medication for opioid addiction.
The film, which is inserted into the mouth and left to dissolve for 10 to 20 minutes, exposes the mouth to acidic substances that cause erosion and decay. The manufacturers of Suboxone film updated the prescribing information in June 2022 to include the association between the film and dental damage.
Jessica’s legal career began in professional liability, specifically medical negligence where she represented healthcare networks, physicians and nurses throughout the litigation process. Today, she stands as a fierce ally for plaintiffs fighting against corporate giants, working to hold medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers accountable. Her caseload spans critical battles and her primary focus these days is on Suboxone, Paraquat and Camp Lejeune, while also wrapping up settlement administration and 3M earplugs and Juul.
