Drug Injury Lawyer
Pennsylvania Personal Injury Lawyers
Pharmaceutical companies are constantly looking for new ways to sell their prescription drugs, whether it's repackaging old drugs and passing them off as new ones or creating ailments that may not actually exist. With the market inundated with commercials and advertisements touting the latest cures for just about every illness imaginable, people are made to believe that these drugs are safe and effective.
In fact, prescription drug use is on the rise. The Institute of Medicine reported in its 2006 publication, Preventing Medication Errors, that 4 out of 5 adults use prescription medicine, over-the-counter drugs, or dietary supplements of some sort every single week. Nearly one-third of adults will take five or more every week.
Such widespread use of drugs, and mixing drugs, can cause very serious Pennsylvania drug injuries that have long-lasting effects. What most pharmaceutical companies don't tell consumers, however, is that many drugs have dangerous side effects that can do more harm than good, resulting in a Pennsylvania drug injury.
Why You Need a Drug Injury Attorney
Every week, the Food and Drug Administration issues new warnings for drug labels or puts a drug recall into effect to warn users about potential drug injuries and harmful side effects. Many drugs make it onto shelves without being properly researched, are pushed onto doctors by pharmaceutical companies without proper testing, or are wrongly prescribed by healthcare professionals.
