Billions of prescription drugs and supplements have been sold in the United States. With this amount of drugs and supplements in circulation, regulation is crucial to protect the public, especially since it is estimated that 5 percent of hospital admissions – over 1 million per year – are the result of negative drug reactions and about 200,000 Americans die from drug-related adverse reactions each year.
MedWatch, an organization operated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, investigates and regulates the safety of today’s drugs. However, reporting of adverse drug reactions is voluntary and doctors do not always report all symptoms or incidents to the FDA.
Although pharmaceutical companies perform clinical trials and tests on prescription drugs before they are approved by the FDA, many drugs can cause serious injuries and even death. Often, pharmaceutical companies aggressively market their drugs without adequate testing and despite their knowledge of the adverse side effects the drug may cause. According to findings published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 51 percent of drugs that were initially approved by the FDA had major adverse effects that were not disclosed or detected until after the general public used them. In many cases, FDA-approved drugs are recalled due to reports of death or serious adverse effects by users. Contact our New York attorneys if adverse effects have occurred to you or a loved one!
