Both pharmaceutical companies and doctors are responsible for providing full disclosure of any side effects or injuries that a drug might cause. Prescription drugs can be very dangerous when they are not carefully tested before being distributed, or when they are negligently prescribed or compounded. The components of prescription drugs are actually illegal unless validly prescribed by a licensed physician, since they have the potential of causing physical harm and are subject to abuse or dependency.
Such dangerous drugs should not be distributed or prescribed carelessly, and anyone who has been injured due to such negligence has a right to obtain compensation. Doctors who prescribe drugs with side effects must not only advise you of the side effects but also carefully monitor you for those side effects before they become irreversible and cause major injuries. If you were injured by a dangerous drug, the NYC injury attorneys at Jaroslawicz & Jaros want to hear from you.

The following is a list of dangerous and banned drugs that are commonly known to cause harm:

You may have purchased some of these drugs over the counter at your local pharmacy. Remember, just because a particular medication doesn’t require a doctor’s prescription doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have potentially harmful side effects. Defective medical devices such as malfunctioning kidney dialysis equipment, IUDs, pacemakers, heart stents and breast implants, can also cause serious problems.
The following is a list of some medical devices and artificial joints that patients have recently complained about or have been recalled by the Food and Drug Administration:
The FDA will only recall a drug after they have received reports of injury or death. Their approach of profits before safety is a cause of all this unnecessary suffering. If you have taken, or are currently taking, one of the drugs mentioned above, and are experiencing painful side effects, contact one of our experienced personal injury attorneys in NYC at Jaroslawicz & Jaros today.
Prescription drug companies have a responsibility to do whatever is necessary to guarantee their products are safe. They also have a responsibility to clearly explain the risks that may be associated with their products, and to regularly evaluate the safety of these products. If a drug company fails in any of these responsibilities, they can be held legally responsible. These legal liabilities include:
When a pharmaceutical company fails to properly test a drug before distributing it to the general public, or when they fail to properly label the drug and disclose its dangers, an unsuspecting individual could suffer serious personal injury. Stomach ulcers, unexpected side effects, harmful drug combinations, and a number of other injuries and dangers can arise from improperly labeled and prescribed drugs.
