The drugs have been linked to primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and heart valve disease.

The $44 million settlement, finalized in September 2004, will compensate those injured by the drugs in varying amounts depending on their age at diagnosis and the severity of the injury. The settlement covers persons resident anywhere in Canada other than Quebec. There is a separate settlement for residents of Quebec.
