About Defective Drugs
Part of the reason why defective drugs with deadly side effects are often distributed to the public is because clinical drug trials may not have uncovered the potential dangers of their side effects. If a drug’s side effects are so dangerous that they outweigh whatever medical benefits they may have, they are considered “defective.” Drugs that have deadly side effects are classified as “defective” by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Side Effects from Defective Drugs
As we mentioned above, defective drugs can cause a number of serious, life-threatening side effects. Here is just a partial list of the medical problems a defective drug may cause:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Organ damage
- Suicide as a result of serious depression
If you or one of your family members has been seriously injured as a result of taking a defective drug, you might be able to file what’s known as a “products liability” lawsuit.
How a Lawyer can Help You
Defective drugs cover a broad range of drugs including: drugs that were recalled, diet pills, anti-inflammatory drugs, prescription drugs for depression, etc. If you have experienced serious or life-threatening injuries after taking a defective drug, you may pursue legal action. These types of legal cases are called “pharmaceutical drug litigation cases” and can be pretty complex because they’re subject to federal laws and state rulings.
Our firm represents Louisiana residents and their families whose injuries were caused after taking a defective drug. For more information about how Irpino Law can help you with your pharmaceutical drug litigation case, call 1-800-7500-LAW today.
