Drug Side Effects

Dangerous drugs and medications are sometimes heavily marketed to consumers before adequate research and safety studies have been completed to know the range of side effects and any potential for long-term problems using the drug. Thousands of consumers each year are seriously injured or die as a result of unsafe medications and drugs that had previously been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

If you or a loved one has suffered from serious injuries due to a prescription medication, drug recall or over-the-counter medication a Minnesota drug recall attorney at Fields Law Firm is ready to help. Please contact us today for a free consultation.

Manufacturers are responsible for making sure their drugs are safe both before consumers begin taking them and after they have been used through careful monitoring of side effects and adverse effects.

Defective medication and drug recall lawsuits will frequently claim that manufacturers were negligent in several different ways including:

• Representing that the drug caused minimal side effects while having actual knowledge that the drug could cause serious side effects
• Failed to investigate the accuracy of the drug label once it became aware of safety issues
• Failed to monitor all relevant scientific literature related to the medication
• Failed to conduct and report post market safety surveillance
• The drug was not reasonable safe as designed because the foreseeable risks involved in its use outweighed the therapeutic benefits of the drug

The attorneys at Fields Law Firm are actively involved in representing consumers who have suffered side effects from a number of different drugs. We appreciate the opportunity to speak to you or a family member and answer any of your questions regarding medication side effects and how we can help.
