What illnesses can defective medication cause?

Home » FAQs » What illnesses can defective medication cause?

Defective drugs–such as the widely used heartburn medication Zantac–can injure millions of people every year. The CDC reports that around 1.3 million visits to the emergency room are related to adverse drug reactions. Many of these cases are caused by drug manufacturers failing to properly test for risks in trials, or to warn patients about the risks they could face by taking their drugs. Defective medication can cause a number of illnesses and other injuries, including

Stroke and other brain problems, such as seizures
Heart attack or other heart problems
Cancer, including bladder cancer, pancreatitis, liver cancer, and others
Organ perforation
Sexual dysfunction
Uncontrolled or excessive bleeding or blood clots
Mental health issues, including increased risk of depression, compulsive behaviors, and suicide
Birth defects, if taken by pregnant women
Rash and other skin issues
Permanent disability
or even death

If you or a loved one has developed one of these symptoms or another health complication after taking medication, you could be eligible for compensation.
