Dangerous Drugs: Harmful Side Effects

The FDA keeps a running record of recalled defective drugs, yet not all hazardous drugs have been removed from the market. The FDA allows some to remain on the market with “black box warnings,” special notices that draw consumers’ attention to the drug’s potentially serious and life-threatening side effects. The FDA warns that you should seek help immediately if you experience or observe any of the following:

Physical Prescription Drug Side Effects

  • Heart failure
  • Seizures
  • Allergic reactions
  • Serious dehydration
  • Blood clots
  • Internal bleeding
  • Painful rashes
  • Trouble breathing
  • Tendon ruptures
  • Congenital disabilities

Mental Prescription Drug Side Effects

  • Death by suicide
  • Suicidal ideation (thoughts of committing suicide)
  • Hostility toward others (aggressiveness)
  • Anxiety
  • Agitation 
  • Panic attacks
  • Insomnia
  • Deepened depression
  • Unusual changes in behavior
  • Hallucinations
  • Tardive Dyskinesia (involuntary muscle movements)

Justice for Victims of Dangerous Drug Side Effects

When pharmaceutical companies fail to inform patients of severe side effects, or a patient has suffered physical or mental harm from taking defective drugs, or has been a victim of harmful psychiatric polypharmacy (over-medicated with multiple prescriptions), you may be able to seek compensation. A McKinney dangerous drug lawyer at McCraw Law Group can:

  • Investigate your claim. Each dangerous drug case is unique and requires in-depth study. Our firm will collect evidence, such as medical records, drug trial studies, expert evaluations, and witness statements that support your claim.
  • Show you your options. We will help you to understand your rights and the potential legal avenues available. 
  • Communicate with all parties. While you focus on regaining your health, we can handle emails, calls, and interactions with the court system, insurance companies, and the other party on your behalf.
  • Negotiate an equitable settlement. To ensure your best interests are kept front and center, we can initiate a negotiation to seek a settlement.
  • Take the case to court. Our attorneys can take your case to court to fight for just compensation when appropriate.
