Pharmaceutical Drug Injury Attorney

Drug Injury Lawyers

We take pills for depression, hyperactivity, pain, cardiovascular disorders, dietary problems, and even nicotine addiction; each ailment has a prescription drug treatment—or in some cases, many variations—that are marketed to consumers as safe and effective in most cases.

Nearly 1/3 of adults use 5 or more prescription drugs each week.

However, life-threatening side effects and heightened risks are often buried within pages and pages of warning labels that most people never read and are never aware of. Industry practices and profit-driven drug marketing can result in harm—and even death—to the very people these drugs were intended to help.

Prescription Use in the United States

As a country, we are using more prescription drugs than ever before. In 2008, annual prescription drug sales hit $291 billion, according to an IMS Health report. Antipsychotic drugs, cholesterol drugs, and heartburn/gastric drugs accounted for the most sales, with antidepressants and painkillers following closely.

When enough people have suffered drug injuries, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will require a more stringent, specific warning label, or recall the drug from the market entirely. Most of the people that suffer in the meantime never have any idea the drug they took to help them get better actually made them sicker, or, in the most tragic of cases, ended their lives prematurely.
