Deaths from defective drugs merit a defective drug  lawsuit

Americans who need health care are at the mercy of their physicians and the drugs that they prescribe. They must rely on the faith that such drugs are safe and will help them, not hurt them. But tragically, that often is not the case. In fact, many thousands of Americans annually have been injured or even killed by defective drugs.

Such drugs are manufactured and marketed by massive pharmaceutical companies which make billions of dollars in profits. These pharmaceutical giants don't always fully research the safety or dangers of their products, though this may not stop the U.S. Food and Drug Administration -- supposedly the watchdog of such companies -- from approving the drugs' use anyway.

When such drugs turn out to be defective, it's as if innocent Americans have served as test subjects for the drugs' powers, and when those drugs prove harmful, those Americans pay the biggest price. Pharmaceutical giants then circle the wagons with legal defenses, while injured Americans do their best to secure the financial compensation which is rightfully due them by law for their defective drug injuries.

For an individual American, securing such economic recovery - and a sense of justice to go with it - may be extremely difficult. Pharmaceutical corporations have enormous resources, having drawn from the huge profits they have made over the years as suppliers of drugs to the American public.

But individual Americans who are harmed by defective drugs need not go into battle against pharmaceutical giants alone. Rather, they can engage knowledgeable and experienced legal assistance via a defective drugs lawyer or attorney with Jim S. Adler & Associates.

Such a case can take many forms and arise due to many different types of drugs. Among the most prominent pharmaceutical failures in recent years have been such drugs as Paxil, an antidepressant which, when taken during pregnancy, can lead to newborn side effects such as heart and lung birth defects which require surgery. A baby's spinal cord, brain and other vital organs also can be injured by defective drug Paxil.

Another harmful drug to Americans is Reglan, which doctors prescribe for digestive disorders. The Reglan brand features the drug metoclopramide, as do Maxolon and Octamide. But metoclopramide can be harmful, especially when used for a lengthy amount of time. Such harm can take the form of Tardive Dyskinesia, a neurological condition involving involuntary jerking and twitching muscles throughout one's body. A Tardive Dyskinesia or Tardive Dystonia victim can experience difficulty talking, walking and sleeping, and there's no known cure or treatment for this Reglan side effect. Suffering, therefore, is permanent, which is all the more reason to engage a defective drugs lawyer to launch a lawsuit for compensation.

Other defective drugs harming many innocent Americans include Fentanyl, which is supplied in pain patch products. When such a pain patch leaks, the extremely potent narcotic Fentanyl can cause serious injury or even death. Also, the anti-psychotic drug Seroquel can cause a heightened risk for pancreatitis, diabetes and death.

Such defective drugs as these can cause serious injury to users who took them on faith when given a physician's prescription. These victims are entitled to financial compensation for their losses, including their medical bills, their lost present and future salary, and their pain and suffering. An Adler defective drug lawsuit can seek such recovery from the pharmaceutical companies which caused the suffering and harm.
