Defective Drugs

Pharmaceutical Litigation Attorneys

Each year, thousands of people are injured by or die from defective prescription drugs. In fact, adverse reactions to prescription drugs is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Incomplete testing, heavy lobbying, and other factors result in drugs with severe side effects being prescribed to the public.

Unsuspecting consumers believe the prescription drugs they are prescribed by their doctors to be safe. However, there is often inadequate or misleading product information provided to patients, doctors, and pharmacists.

Defective Drugs Are Not Always Recalled

Drug manufacturers make billions of dollars each year from pharmaceutical drugs. While the drug companies are required to disclose potential side effect information, these warnings are often inadequate or misleading. Thus, even drugs with known, severe side effects are taken by unwitting victims every day.

Consumers often trust defective drugs because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved them. What’s more, consumers believe that because their doctor prescribed the drug, the drug is safe.

However, the drug companies conduct the research and development of their own drugs. The FDA monitors the drug companies, but the FDA does not do its own extensive testing on pharmaceutical drugs. Thus, drugs are often approved by the FDA without sufficient testing done on the drugs.
