We rely on drug manufacturers to create medication that helps keep us healthier and helps treat serious conditions. Drug manufacturers are expected to carefully test any medications – including over-the-counter prescribed medications – through animal testing and human trials before releasing the medication to the public. If there are serious interactions are or side effects, it is expected that drug manufacturers are honest about this.

Do You Have a Products Liability Claim in Hollywood?If you are injured by a defective drug, there may be many people at fault. If the drug was administered in the hospital or clinic, the medical staff maybe found negligent if they did not check any existing medication you were taking as well as any known allergies. In some cases, the pharmacist may be held negligent if you were dispensed the wrong medication or were given the wrong dosage or the wrong instructions with the medication. A doctor may be found liable in your situation if he or she prescribed the wrong medication or indicated the wrong dosage in the prescription. The drug manufacturer may be held liable if there were undisclosed side effects or if the drug testing was inadequate.
If you have an allergic or unusual reaction to a drug you are taking, stop taking the medication immediately, keep all the packaging and information you have with the medication, and seek medical assistance at once.
