Relentlessly Fighting for Your Right to Compensation
When a patient takes prescribed medication from their health care provider or pharmacist, they typically assume that the drug is going to aid in their recovery or treatment. Unfortunately, some drugs have dangerous side effects that cause more problems than they can solve. Side effects that could be devastating or in some cases, life threatening.
Before a drug can be released for public consumption and distribution, it must first be tested and then approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). However, even though a medication may pass through the approval process and be released to pharmacies and healthcare providers, there is still a chance that it can have unexpected side effects and be recalled.
Some medications are recalled immediately after any dangerous side effects are discovered but some can remain in circulation for long periods of time, allowing patients to suffer more serious harm until the side effects or evolving illnesses due to the drug are discovered.
Common Side Effects of Dangerous Drugs
The most common side effects from taking a dangerous medicine are heart attacks, strokes, psychological problems, birth defects, kidney failure, cardiovascular problems, and even death.
Some commonly known dangerous drugs with potentially serious side effects are:
