Carlsbad Dangerous Drugs Claims
When a doctor prescribes medicine for us, we expect that it will make us feel better, not worse. However, sometimes medicines cause terrible side effects resulting in illness, injury or death. If this has happened to you or a family member, you may be entitled to compensation.
At the Kohn Law Office, we have decades of experience helping people recover compensation after an injury or wrongful death. Personal injury lawyer Russell Kohn understands the devastating effects that an injury by a defective drug can have on a family. To speak with him about your drug or birth control defect claim, please call 760-429-7295 or contact us online. Your consultation is free.
Drugs That Can Cause Injury
Although new medicines undergo testing and must receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), they may still cause unwanted side effects. The drug's manufacturer has a duty to inform medical personnel and the public about possible side effects. However, whether due to incomplete testing or lack of warning, prescription drugs sometimes injure or kill patients.
Over-the-counter drugs may or may not have obtained FDA approval. Cold remedies, non-narcotic painkillers and weight loss drugs are examples of over-the-counter drugs.
Kohn Law Office can help you if you have been injured by side effects of the following drugs:
- NuvaRing — An increased risk of blood clots, stroke, heart attack, organ damage and pulmonary embolism
- Zicam — Loss of sense of smell and partial loss of sense of taste
- Zometa — Osteonecrosis of the jaw or "dead jaw"
- Hydroxycut — Liver problems, liver failure, seizures, cardiovascular problems and muscle damage
