(EMAILWIRE.COM, December 04, 2008 ) New York, NY - Lawyer Central announces the release of its Dangerous Drug Resource Center, which offers consumers information and legal guidance regarding defective drugs. While most prescription drugs are relatively safe for users, the consequences of a single defective drug can be quite serious. Despite the standards and testing criteria of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), dangerous drugs still reach the marketplace and can have serious side effects. If a drug proves harmful to consumers, the manufacturer can be found liable for damages resulting from its use, even if the drug was licensed by the FDA. In addition, doctors, nurses, and pharmacists may also be responsible for the harmful effects of a dangerous drug if they acted negligently in any way.
A recent instance of dangerous drugs reaching the marketplace involved the Ethex Corporation, a manufacturer of the pain medication Morphine Sulfate. In June 2008, the Ethex Corporation admitted that it had manufactured and distributed morphine pills with double the prescribed strength, putting consumers are at risk for morphine overdose. Morphine overdoses can result in breathing problems, erratic behavior, seizures, low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting and even death.
Lawyer CentralÂ’s Dangerous Drug Resource Center offers a list of some of the defective drugs that have caused serious consequences for those who took them. Visitors can review information about the harmful effects of these dangerous drugs, as well as the FDAÂ’s responses. Accutane, Ketek, Provigil, Avandia, Crestor, and Mirapex are among the dangerous drugs that are listed. A link to further information about dangerous drugs from the FDA and a dangerous drug news center serve to keep consumers informed about dangerous drug warnings, recalls, emerging litigation, and more.
