According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug daily. Fully 2.8 billion prescriptions are offered to patients during doctors’ visits, and 6 million more are offered to patients visiting emergency departments. Considering such a vast majority of us rely on prescription drugs every day, we have a right to believe they are safe and effective.
Unfortunately, some patients are prescribed drugs or devices that are dangerous or brought to market before they are tested for long-term complications. This may result in severe side effects or even loss of life.
If you or a family member becomes ill, has a serious reaction, or suffers an injury due to a defective prescription, or even an over-the-counter medicine, it’s important to understand that the pharmaceutical company or manufacturer can be held liable – even if the drug was approved by the FDA. Medical practitioners and pharmacists can also be responsible if they improperly prescribed, administered, or filled prescriptions for their patients.
Defective drugs pose a very dangerous, very real risk to Americans
