MedWatch, an organization operated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), 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.
The Finz firm attorneys handle a wide range of defective drug lawsuits, including those involving:
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.
