Prescription Drugs Can Help or Harm

Prescription drugs have saved lives and enhanced the quality of life for millions of people world wide. However, the same drugs that save lives can cause harm when they are not adequately tested or when they are incorrectly prescribed or dispensed.

Inadequate Safety Testing?

The list of drugs discovered after introduction and use to be unsafe goes on and on. Though the Food and Drug Administration requires testing for all drugs before they are licensed for sale, some drug trials may not be extensive enough to provide adequate information on a drug's effect on the body. Often, the drug manufacturer's internal, ongoing testing reveals problems long before those ill effects are noticed by the general consumer. It may be revealed that adverse effects of a drug are common after long-term use OR that adverse or dangerous effects are common for certain segments of users: teenagers, women who are pregnant, or patients who are using certain other common drugs.

Deceitful Drug Companies Must Be Held Accountable

Drug companies have been known to conceal evidence of harmful side effects associated with certain drugs. When their concealment causes harm to the public, they must be held accountable for that harm. Legal actions in such cases not only provide fair compensation for the families of those who have been harmed by a bad drug; they also prevent further marketing of a product that can harm future users.

Prevent Harm Caused by Pharmacy Errors

Likewise, legal action may be initiated when a pharmacy dispenses the incorrect drug and causes harm to the consumer. When picking up prescriptions, always verify that the drug you have received is the drug your doctor prescribed and that the dosage is at the level the doctor prescribed. If the refill of medication looks different from what you normally receive, do not take it without consulting again with your doctor and your pharmacist. And always inform all of your physicians and pharmacists about all medications and over-the-counter remedies that you take.
