Every year millions of Americans detrimentally rely on prescription or over-the-counter drugs that are sold by drug manufacturers. Unfortunately thousands of Americans are seriously injured and sometimes die from adverse reactions and side effects associated with prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications.

Every drug manufacturer has a responsibility to market drugs and medications that are reasonably safe for use by consumers. The Federal Food and Drug Administration must approve a drug before it is sold to the public. Nevertheless, an approved drug might cause harmful side effects not yet recognized or linked to its use, and therefore not known to the general public or the physicians who prescribe such medications. The users of some drugs could experience serious side effects such as allergic reactions, damage to unborn fetuses, amputation, loss of sight, brain damage, and even death. If a drug company markets a medication that is unreasonably dangerous for its users, it may be liable for injuries and damages caused by the use of that product.

If you believe that you have suffered an injury or illness due to the use of a drug or medication, you may have a claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the drug. It is important to have your case investigated as soon as possible. This may include obtaining your medical records and having them reviewed by a medical professional.
