Millions of people rely on prescription drugs to help treat diseases or illnesses. They take these medicines under the assumption that the pharmaceutical companies manufacturing and distributing the drugs have taken the proper precautions to ensure that they are safe. Unfortunately, there are numerous instances where drug manufacturers have produced defective drugs and neglected to properly inform patients about their dangerous side effects.

The side effects of defective drugs vary widely, from minor symptoms such as headaches and nausea to serious illnesses and health complications, including heart attacks, diabetes, pulmonary embolisms and even death. It is the responsibility of drug manufacturers to provide products that are safe and effective. It is also their duty to properly inform patients of any dangerous side effects that may occur.

When a pharmaceutical company discovers a dangerous defect in one of its drugs and fails to properly inform consumers, it could be liable for any injuries, illnesses or deaths resulting from the drug’s defect. Drug manufacturers are responsible for evaluating the safety of their products before marketing them.

If you or someone you know has experienced any of the aforementioned side effects as a result of using the a prescription drug, you may be eligible to receive personal injury compensation to help defray medical bills, loss of work or legal fees.
