Product Liability Laws

Responsabilidad por productos es un área compleja del derecho que requiere un abogado con amplia experiencia manejando con éxito estos casos, como los abogados de drogas peligrosas del condado de Broward. Los fabricantes de medicamentos pueden ser demandados por daños bajo la responsabilidad por productos si la empresa diseñó el medicamento con un defecto, se cometió un error en la producción del medicamento, o si la empresa tergiversó la seguridad del medicamento o no advirtió adecuadamente a los consumidores en la etiqueta.

Reasons for Taking Harmful Medication

A number of drugs can be dangerous, but the most common are medications for heart disease, cancer, and thinning blood. Some of the frequently used drugs that have harmful side effects are chemotherapy drugs, statins for reducing cholesterol, blood thinners, Prozac/fluoxetine, Glucotrol, long-term use of arthritis drugs, and beta blockers. For more information on these prescriptions, injured people should contact a Broward County dangerous drugs lawyer.

¿Cuáles son los efectos secundarios asociados con estos medicamentos?

Chemotherapy drugs, including methotrexate treating cancer and rheumatoid arthritis, which are poisons designed to kill cancer cells that can also kill healthy cells. These drugs are toxic to the liver and kidneys and can weaken the immune system and cause lung disease. Statins for reducing cholesterol, Mevacor, Zocor, and Pravachol, can cause liver toxicity, cataracts, and muscle inflammation.

Blood thinners, such as Xarelto and Pradaxa, used to prevent strokes and heart attacks, can cause abnormal bleeding. Death can result from loss of blood. Prozac (Fluoxetine) is meant to alter moods, manage anxiety, and help sleeping, but can cause hostility, violent behavior, and suicidal thoughts.

Glucotrol and other drugs to treat Type 2 diabetes by reducing glucose can cause liver damage and hypoglycemia. Ozempic, Wegovy, and Rybelsus are also used for Type 2 diabetes and weight loss and can result in gallbladder issues and stomach paralysis. Long-term use of arthritis drugs, Motrin and Celebrex, can cause gastrointestinal bleeding and damage to the kidneys and liver. Beta blockers, Lopressor and Tenormin, are used to weaken the heart to achieve lower blood pressure, can change cardiac performance, and elevate blood lipids.

Why Speak to a Broward County Dangerous Drugs Attorney

A study conducted among physicians in the US, Canada, and France, revealed that physicians are not always told that a drug has a side effect that can have serious consequences, reported the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

Pharmaceutical sales representatives simply do not tell them or the drug companies do not tell their field representatives. Without that information, physicians may prescribe medicines that, when taken together, can cause adverse drug reactions. The dosage may not be correct, and testing of a new drug may not reveal an adverse reaction.

If you or a loved one has experienced serious side effects from a prescribed medication, contact a skilled Broward County dangerous drugs lawyer to evaluate your case. The attorney offers a free consultation, which does not require that the attorney be hired.
