Millions of people receive prescriptions for medications each and every day in the United States, generating billions of dollars in revenue for drug manufacturers. Unfortunately, many drug manufacturers place profit above the well-being of their customers.

Dangerous Drugs & Devices

While there are numerous FDA recalls each year, many drugs and devices remain on the market with possibly deadly side effects. Even the FDA approval is no guarantee that a drug is safe. As a matter of fact, many risks are only discovered after a drug has been on the market for years and it has been prescribed to a large number of patients. Prescribed drugs and over the counter medicines are responsible for over 200,000 deaths a year in the United States. Some of the risks you are exposed to when taking a drug include:

• Design defects
• Manufacturing defects
• Labeling defects
• Contamination of the product during the manufacturing or packaging process
• Problems with testing of the drug or medical device
• Failure to receive warning of side effects
• Incorrect distribution by a pharmacist

Drugs and medical devices should be designed to help the patient and the benefits of using these items should always outweigh the risks. When this isn’t the case, such drugs and devices can cause irreversible injuries, disability and even death.

Examples of dangerous medications and devices:

• Accutane:  linked to mental problems and suicide
• Avandia: increased risk of heart attack
• Chantix: linked to suicide
• Complete Moisture Plus (AMO):  linked to vision trouble and potential blindness
• Digitek: recalled due to double-strength tablets
• Duragesic:  package defect leading to accidental overdose
• Fosamax: linked to necrosis of the jaw
• Gadolinium:  multiple symptoms associated with NFD
• Heparin: contamination linked to allergic reactions
• Levaquin:  antibiotic leading to weakened tendons and other side effects
• Ortho Evra: can cause blood clots and strokes
• Medtronic Sprint Fidelis: Faulty leads
• Panacryl Absorbable Sutures:  may lead to infection and additional procedures
• Raptiva:  linked to Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML)
• ReNu MultiPlus:  linked to eye pain and possible blindness
• ReNu with MoistureLoc:  linked to eye pain and possible blindness
• Stevens-Johnson Syndrome:  serious medical condition caused by allergic reaction to medications
• Trasylol:  linked to kidney failure and death
• Viagra:  linked to hearing and vision loss
• Zicam:  may cause loss of smell and/or taste
