Causes of Dangerous Pharmaceuticals

The pharmaceutical market is a billion-dollar industry with constant pressure to keep growing their profits. But when companies prioritize profits over the safety of consumers, unsafe drugs end up in the market and in the homes of millions of innocent people.
What can lead to dangerous prescription drugs?

Improper manufacturing or contamination

Insufficient safety testing

Incorrect packing or bottling

Poor labeling and misinformation

In some cases, the drug manufacturer may be to blame. In others, it may have been the testing lab’s fault for not conducting thorough tests on the drug’s safety. When you work with our firm, we can help you investigate the drug, the manufacturer, distributer, and testing facility to locate any evidence of negligence. We have access to an extensive network of leading experts and professionals who can help you maximize your product liability claim.

Hold Negligent Drug Manufacturers Responsible

Unsafe prescription drugs have killed thousands and harmed millions of consumers. It is important that you not only receive compensation for your injuries, but to make sure a company’s unsafe practices do not harm other consumers. Your claim can not only make a difference in your personal life, but also the greater public good.
Our team has represented claims against a variety of defective drugs, including:
Invokana is a prescription medication used to improve blood sugar level in adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Studies indicate Invokana can cause severe side effects like increased risk of lower limb amputation and a flesh-eating rash.
These heartburn medications are known as proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) and have been found to cause a number of debilitating side effects including heart attacks, kidney problems, bone fractures, and ifections.
Men who have used testosterone products and supplements have reported serious strokes, cardiac, and other heart-related complications. These side effects are dangerous and you should consult a medical professional about your symptoms.
Batches of the popular blood pressure medication have been recalled for containing carcinogens known to cause kidney, liver, and colon cancer.

VIOXX®

During the short time that Vioxx was on the market, it caused widespread personal harm, including stroke, heart attack, and death. Don’t let the company get away with manufacturing a defective product.
Zantac is an H2 Blocker. Zantac's active ingredient, ranitidine, reduces stomach acid by blocking the chemical responsible for producing acid. People use ranitidine to treat heartburn, indigestion, stomach ulcers, and GERD. However, recent studies have shown that ranitidine frequently becomes contaminated by N-Nitrosodimethylamine.
Zofran is an anti-nausea drug. It has been frequently prescribed for “off-label” usage, particularly to combat morning sickness. Reports have shown that usage can lead to a 30% increase in developing birth defects.
