Injured by a Dangerous Drug? You Have Rights

Adverse drug reactions are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Drug side effects cause the death, hospitalization, or serious injury of more than 2 million Americans each year, including more than 100,000 deaths. Many of these injuries and deaths could be avoided if pharmaceutical companies were more forthright about the side effects of their products and if the FDA acted more aggressively to protect the public and to keep dangerous medications off the market.

According to numerous studies, medication side effects are responsible for approximately 1.5 million hospitalizations each year. Based on these numbers, American hospitals admit more than 4,000 patients each day on average because of drug-related side effects. Adverse drug reactions are also a top reason for Americans to visit a hospital emergency room. Furthermore, it is estimated that each year an additional 750,000 Americans develop an adverse reaction to medication while they are in the hospital.

In recent years, many approved prescription drugs have been removed from the market after evidence surfaced showing that these medications caused dangerous side effects. It has also been revealed that pharmaceutical manufacturers have intentionally tried to withhold research indicating that their products are dangerous.
