Dangers of Prescription Drugs Can Lead to an Indiana Dangerous Drugs Claim

Dangerous drugs that were meant to provide a cure or ease the symptoms of a troubling condition or disease pose serious, unreasonable health risks to unsuspecting individuals. If the dangers of prescription drugs have caused you or a loved one has to suffer injury or fall ill, you should know that an Indianapolis dangerous drug attorney is able to help you seek legal recourse.

Drug companies are responsible for manufacturing products that are safe, and are responsible for warning the public of any harmful side effects. These warnings can be conveyed on the label or through your doctor or pharmacist. When warnings are not provided and, consequently, preventable illnesses occur, you may be able to hold accountable the drug manufacturer, the pharmacist or your doctor.

Dangers of Prescription Drugs on the Market

At Hensley Legal Group, our dangerous drug attorney team understands that some dangerous drugs have serious side effects that outweigh the benefits and can discuss this during your consultation. 

A few of these drugs are as follows: 

• Actos - long-term use of this diabetes medication has been linked to an increased risk of bladder cancer.
• Topamax - infants born to women treated with this anticonvulsant are at risk of developing cleft lip and cleft palate.
• Accutane - this medication for severe nodular acne has been linked to severe birth defects and mental health problems.
• Zocor - this cholesterol-lowering drug has been linked to muscle injuries when administered in high doses.
• Fosamax - used to treat osteoporosis, this medication can cause femoral fractures and esophagus problems. 

Granted, most prescription drugs on the market are safe, however, it is not uncommon for the Food and Drug Administration and prescription manufacturers to pull products from the market after it has been revealed that they can cause cancer and other debilitating illnesses.
