Bad Drugs

We all wish to live longer and healthier lives. Medicine today plays an ever greater role in achieving this goal. Unfortunately there are many medications and or medical devices that prove to cause more harm than good, even death. Many people are under the false impression that the F.D.A. (Food and drug Administration) does its own testing to determine if a particular drug and or medical device is in fact safe for consumers. The truth is, it’s the pharmaceutical and or biotech companies conduct their own research/testing and simply provide their findings to the government to determine effectiveness and safety of a particular drug and /or medical device.

Often times however the clinic studies are not extensive and the manufacturers simply rush their products to market based solely on a business decision. Of course that hurts the general public as bad drugs and defective medical devices causes injuries and/or undisclosed side effects which may not have been disclosed on the labeling. If proven true, you may have a legal claim for damages provided one can show that they used the drug and or medical device. If you or a family member has been injured by a bad drug or defective medical device, call the Law Offices of Evan M. Ostfeld, P..A. for a free consultation.
