Dangerous Drugs

The list of dangerous drugs seems to grow each year. Prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs are responsible for more than 200,000 deaths per year in the United States. Many adverse side effects don't come to light until after a product has been released into the general population.

It has become commonplace for drugs to be recalled after millions of innocent patients have taken the medication they thought would benefit them. FDA approval is no guarantee that a drug is safe, as recent recalls have shown. If you have been harmed by a prescription or over-the-counter drug, you should contact an attorney to have your claim evaluated. Some recent examples of drugs gone bad are: Avandia: increased risk of heart attack
Celebrex: increased blood clots leading to stroke
Chantix: linked to suicide
Cipro: can cause tendon rupture
Digitek: recalled due to double-strength tablets
Fosamax: linked to necrosis of the jaw
Gardasil: can cause paralysis
Heparin: contamination linked to allergic reactions
Ortho Evra: can cause blood clots and strokes
Paxil: can cause heart defects in infants

Defective Devices

Medical implants are becoming more and more common in the treatment of such things as heart ailments. However, thousands of people die or suffer as a result of defective medical devices. Even after being approved by the government, devices can cause serious injury or even death.

The types of devices that can cause serious injury include pacemakers, defibrillators, hernia patches, valve implants and joint replacements. Recent defective medical devices include:

Shoulder Pain Pump:    can cause PAGCL
Medtronic Sprint Fidelis:    faulty leads
AMO Lens Solution:    can cause blindness
ReNu Lens Solution:    eye infections
Hip and Knee Replacement:    implant failure
