Defective Drugs
Before a prescription drugs can be marketed in the United States it is put through a series of trials and must gain the approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Once the drug has been placed on the market, the FDA continues to monitor it through post-marketing reports sent in by the manufacturer and through the MedWatch program - an FDA program that allows consumers and health care professionals to report serious side effects, quality control issues, and medical errors associated with drugs and products regulated by the FDA.
Sometimes, an unanticipated side effect manifests itself once the drug has made it into the U.S. market. If the side effect is serious enough, the FDA may issue a warning to the public and/or request that changes be made to the drug's label. If the side effect is extremely serious and the FDA decides that the risks of the drug outweigh its benefits, then the FDA may recall the drug.
If you or someone you know is taking or has taken prescription drugs, and have experienced serious side effects from them, you may be entitled to monetary compensation by the drug manufacturers. Individuals who have suffered side effects from drugs such as Zicam, Gadolinium, Bard Hernia Patches, Avandia, Fosamax, Digitek, and many may be entitled to monetary compensation for their injuries.
