Dangerous drugs & FDA overview

By Welch, Gold & Siegel – Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc., Pennsylvania

Do you think pharmaceutical drugs are safe simply because of their FDA (Food & Drug Administration) oversight and approval?

In a perfect world – yes – but when big business like mega-million dollar pharmaceutical companies have an abundance of influence over an under-funded bureaucratic government agency, big pharma usually wins.

Pharmaceutical drugs are often rushed to the marketplace without adequate clinical trials. Influential drug reps shower doctors with expensive toys and trips and consultant fees as a way to encourage their brands. It works.

Of course, not all prescription drugs are dangerous nor have come to the pharmaceutical marketplace through unethical means.

Here are some dangerous drugs.

If you or a family member has been harmed by these drugs, please contact Welch Siegel & Gold, Pennsylvania personal injury lawyers.
