Defective Drug Attorneys - Seeger Weiss Law Firm

The pharmaceutical industry’s job is to create and sell drugs. Defective drug attorneys go to work when someone is harmed by them.

Just because a drug is “on the market” does not mean that its safety is guaranteed. Defective drug attorneys regularly represent individuals who have been injured and experienced moderate to severe trauma due to a defective drug. Attorneys at Seeger Weiss encourage individuals who are having more than the “typical” side effects from any drug they’re taking to contact an attorney who might be able to help them.

Approval from the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) is necessary for a drug to be marketed commercially. But even after approval, the FDA monitors it through reports from the drug manufacturer and the FDA’s own MedWatch program to determine if it should be classified as a defective drug. Attorneys also keep an eye on the effects drugs are having on patients in order to provide support to those who have been harmed.

Defective drug attorneys are aware of a long list of drugs that produce potentially harmful side effects. In some cases, the FDA will issue a warning or mandate changes in the way a drug is labeled. The FDA will usually recall a drug that it deems at high risk for causing a serious side effect.

Here are several medications that can be classified as defective drugs. Attorneys can help if you are experiencing health issues from any of these – or any other drugs. Remember – all drugs can have side effects, some of them serious.

Celebrex

An arthritis drug whose label has had revisions to warn doctors and patients of potential cardiovascular and stomach problems.

Vioxx

In 2004 this arthritis drug was recalled after reports of serious cardiovascular problems in patients. Defective drug attorneys have filed a huge number of successful individual lawsuits and class action lawsuits against the maker of this drug.

Bextra

This was another drug widely used to treat arthritis. It was recalled after reports of cardiovascular problems and serious skin reactions.

Zyprexa

Blood sugar disorders and various other negative side effects have been linked to this drug, which is given to individuals with schizophrenia and bi-polar disorders.

Baycol

Bayer Pharmaceutical Division withdrew this cholesterol drug from the market after reports from some patients of the rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle – some of which instances were fatal.

If you or a loved one is experiencing severe side effects from a medication, you may be taking a defective drug. Attorneys at Seeger Weiss will discuss your situation and determine if you are in a position to pursue legal action against the drug manufacturer or others.
