Defective Prescription Drugs

Even though we all trust in the medical community to help us get or stay better, defective drugs remain a serious issue.

Pharmacists, doctors, and manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that their products will not cause harm—from issuing an accurate dose, to prescribing the right medication for a given set of circumstances, to properly designing, manufacturing, and labeling a medication so it is safe.

As such, a defective prescription drug case can arise from:

• Mislabeling
• A drug defect
• Insufficient warnings

Many medications have been found to be defective or have harmful effects, but some of the most common include:

• Xarelto
• Meridia
• Hydroxycut
• Crestor
• Ortho Evra
• Celebrex
• Ephedra
• Paxil
• Serzone
• Zicam
• Yaz/Yasmin
• Provigil
• Accutane
• Vioxx
• Severent

A defective or dangerous drug can change lives, or even end them, so we understand the gravity of the situation.
