Dangerous Prescription Drugs

With the passage of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act administered by the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA began placing many pharmaceutical drugs on a fast track to approval and allowing pharmaceutical companies to advertise directly to consumers. The faster drugs enter the marketplace, the less time drug companies and government officials have to fully investigate potential side effects.

While pharmaceutical manufacturers have garnered increasing profits for their drugs, consumer safety has proportionally decreased. The combination of many new pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter drugs gaining fast approval has significantly increased injuries to consumers and led to increased numbers of dangerous drugs such as Avandia, Vioxx, Paxil, Celebrex, and Zoloft being prescribed to millions of Americans.

Examples of Pharmaceutical Malpractice

There are three primary categories under which pharmaceutical malpractice may fall. These share one common element: prescription drugs. Regulated by the government because they pose a certain level of danger due to abuse or misuse, these drugs can only be obtained with a valid medical prescription. When the companies or medical professionals that deal with prescription drugs act negligently or even break the law in an attempt to boost profits, they can cause serious harm.

Remer, Georges-Pierre & Hoogerwoerd, PLLC takes on cases involving all three types of pharmaceutical malpractice:

  • Defective and dangerous drugs, which may include drugs that cause serious or even deadly side effects, are improperly marketed, are not sufficiently tested, or do not contain adequate warnings of side effects. Some of these have been recalled, while others are under investigation, and still others have yet to be exposed.
  • Improperly prescribed medication, which may include off-label uses for prescription medications, accidentally prescribing the wrong dose or wrong drug, misdiagnosing a medical condition, and therefore prescribing an unnecessary or incorrect medication, or similar errors.
  • Improperly filled prescriptions, which includes errors or negligence on the part of the pharmacists who fill and dispense prescription drugs. This may include dispensing the wrong dose or wrong drug or failing to educate a patient on how to take the medicine.
