All FDA Approved Drugs Are Not Safe

It might come as a surprise that many of the drugs that the average California personal injury lawyer takes pharma companies to court for are FDA approved.


How did the agency approve drugs that can cause such harm? The answer lies in a complex network of regulations, pharma-doctor connections, and confusion regarding clinical trials and testing procedures and their conclusions. Most patients place implicit faith in modern science, and pharma companies in the U.S. are considered the vanguards of scientific breakthroughs in disease prevention and management. Besides, patients do not have the medical knowledge necessary to make an informed choice. The fact that almost 50% drugs approved by FDA later run into the dosage rough waters is a telling example of how the system works. The list is endless -- Yaz can cause hemorrhage, Raptiva was taken off the shelves following a brain infection alert, Accutane manufacturers admitted in 2005 that it could lead to severe depression. It gets worse. There are Avandia, Celexa, Betaseron, Foradil, Levodopa, Palladone, Mirapex, Levitra, Protopic, Vioxx, Ritalin, Terbutaline, Zevaline, and many, many more drugs on the list.

Choosing Right

To take on a powerful pharma company, you need the right legal representation. Choosing your attorney for unsafe drugs claims requires as much care as selecting a California DUI attorney for drunk driving cases. Don't suffer illness in silence. Don't watch your loved one suffer the side effects of an unsafe drug either. Act now. Call a California personal injury lawyer.
