My Prescription Medication Caused Serious Side-Effects, Do I Have a Case?
Prescription medications are necessary drugs and treat a wide variety of illness and disease. Without them, many illnesses would go untreated and the patient could die. Prescription drugs are heavily regulated by the Food & Drug Administration, a federal agency that is responsible for warning the public on the dangers associated with these drugs. Manufacturers of prescription drugs have an absolute duty to manufacture and market drugs that are not known to cause serious side-effects that outweigh the benefit of the product. For example the drug Cipro is used to treat various infections and illnesses of the respiratory and nerve system. However, it is now commonly known that Cipro may cause serious injuries, including tendon rupture and epidermal disorders that can become fatal if not identified and treated quickly. Users can file a Cipro injury claim against Bayer Corporation by contacting a drug defect lawyer.
The responsibility of drug manufacturers to produce safe medications falls under the legal doctrine of product liability. Simply put, manufacturers are strictly liable for personal injuries sustained by consumers when using their products for "their intended use", and even when consumers MIS-use these products as one may anticipate. Internal medications are inherently volatile, as the body can react to them in different ways. This is why most manufacturers await several years of testing before mass marketing their drugs. However, when the testing period is shortened due to a desire to market the product quickly and make enormous revenues, the manufacturer may be compromising YOUR safety.
