Bad Drugs and Defective Medications

Modern medications [Actos (Pioglitazone), Byetta (Exenatide), Januvia (Sitagliptin), Janumet (Sitagliptin & Metformin), Pradaxa (Dabigatran)], medical equipment, and implants can greatly improve our health and quality of life.  Billions of dollars have been spent on developing products that are designed to treat medical conditions and provide relief for a variety of health problems.

However, because so much money goes into the development of products, there is an economic incentive for drug makers and other companies that make medical equipment or implants to overlook hazards, side effects, and defects.  It is important to be careful when determining if you or a loved one is thinking about taking a new medication or having a foreign object placed in your body.  This is because some medications and medical devices can cause more harm than good.  These defective products can cause serious injury or death. 

Some examples of medications listed by the FDA as potentially hazardous include Actos (Pioglitazone), Byetta (Exenatide), Januvia (Sitagliptin), Janumet (Sitagliptin & Metformin), Pradaxa (Dabigatran), Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Paxil (paroxetine), Luvox (fluvoxamine), Celexa (citalopram), Lexapro (escitalopram), Wellbutrin (bupropion), Effexor (venlafaxine), Serzone (nefazodone), Remeron (mirtazapine), Remicade, Fen-Phen, Serzone).  Faulty equipment is also listed including faulty lasers, infusion sets, hygiene chairs, beds, and other equipment that can cause a hazard to patients as is bad medical implants including faulty knee joints, coronary stent systems, cardioverter defibrillators and other defective implants.

If you think you or a loved one have been wrongfully injured by a bad drug, defective equipment, or a defective implant, please seek medical assistance as soon as possible and feel free to e-mail any questions you might have to toxicdose@texaslawyers.com.
