Minneapolis Defective Drug Lawyer

Minneapolis Defective Drug Attorney | Unsafe Drugs

When you take a prescription drug prescribed, it is usually assumed that the drug will help you recover from an illness or offer support to the treatment of a medical condition. Although prescription drugs are meant to enhance health and bring relief from ailments, all to often, a drug that is intended to help instead causes serious injury.

Defective drugs and unsafe prescription medication can lead to severe side effects, including:

• Bextra - risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other problems;
• Celebrex - risk of cardiovascular problems and blood clots;
• Darvocet - risk of abnormal heart rythms, and sudden death;
• Digitek - risk of irregular heart palpitations, and bradycardia;
• Prempro - heart attack, blood clots, and gallbladder disease;
• Vioxx - risk of heart attack, stroke, and sudden cardiac death.

When a prescribed medication actually makes things worse, causing serious injury or even death, people feel betrayed and uncertain where to turn. We can help your grieving family with a wrongful death claim if someone close has died as the result of a defective drug or unsafe pharmaceutical product that was recalled or known to be harmful.

After a drug is released to the public and prescribed by doctors, it is sometimes found that the drug causes more medical problems than earlier studies had predicted. As a result, unsafe drugs are often marketed to the public before negative side effects can be fully researched. Some dangerous or defective drugs are not recalled until the prescribed individuals suffer serious side effects, and even death.

It is important to remember that approval of a drug by the FDA does not always mean that the drug is safe. While the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does play a regulatory role in approving and monitoring the  safety of a drug after approval, the manufacturer is ultimately liable for all injuries sustained from their medications.
