Every year, millions of Americans are prescribed medications with dangerous side effects that result in serious medical conditions and death. The FDA tries to control the release of dangerous drugs, or issue warnings of dangerous side effects, but doctors continue to prescribe, and pharmacists continue to dispense them. The personal injury trial attorneys of Fibich, Hampton & Leebron, LLP provide aggressive representation for people who have suffered harm because of pharmaceutical injury.
Weight control drugs are of a particular danger and have resulted in many deaths. In July of 1997 the FDA, in conjunction with the release of a manuscript of a Mayo Clinic study, issued a warning relating to evidence of heart valve problems associated with the usage of Redux™ and Pondimin.™ There have been many of such reports regarding serious complications from drugs such as fen-phen, Redux™ and
Pondimin,™ such as primary pulmonary hypertension. The publicity surrounding the damaging medical studies along with FDA calling for a voluntary recall of certain drugs produced an awareness of a medical crisis for many citizens and a series of actions preserving legal recourse for injuries.
