Drug Injury Lawyers in Houston, Texas
Every year, the FDA recalls drugs because the public learns that the drugs have dangerous side effects or the public learns that the drug is not effective. Drug companies have a responsibility to warn consumers about a drug’s side effects and to warn users about risks that a drug might have. If a drug is shown to have unintended side effects or proves to not be effective, drug companies have a responsibility to let consumers know. Unfortunately, sometimes problems with drugs only become apparent after the drug has been on the market for some time. When these problems become known, the drug companies have a responsibility to let consumers know what is going on. Individuals who have been hurt after using prescription drugs might have the right to seek damages for their losses, medical expenses, lost wages, disability, and injuries. Always speak to your doctor if you are experiencing side effects after using prescription drugs.
