"Servier knew that it was selling poison," 71-year-old Joy Ercole told AFP, who took Mediator for six months 10 years ago, and said she suffered heart damage as a result.
"The unlucky ones, like me, are condemned to a slow death. My life is ruined."
Pulmonologist Irene Frachon alerted French health authorities of heart problems among patients who had taken the drug. She published a book in 2010, which became the basis for a documentary movie.
In 2015, a civil court found Servier negligent for having left "defective" medicine in the market.
Victims have submitted nearly 10,500 claims for compensation from Servier, and many have accepted payment in return for not taking part in criminal proceedings.
