What Are The Most Common Drugs That Are A Subject Of A Dangerous Drug Claim?

Manvel lawyers will tell you that dangerous drugs and their associated claims run the gamut on the types of medications causing injury to their clients. 10 common prescription drugs often cited in dangerous drug claims include: 

• Beta blockers – serious side effects have been reported, including compromised cardiac function and elevated blood lipids, among others.
• Arthritis drugs – non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) may cause stomach upset, gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney and liver damage.
• Diabetes drugs – injuries associated with hypoglycemia, fatigue and liver damage have been found in some individuals.
• Pain killers – a slow heart rate and restricted breathing may result and cause serious medical consequences. If mixed with alcohol, results may be even more exaggerated.
• ADD/ADHD medications – severe psychological dependency is common, along with anxiety, insomnia and hostility.
• Prozac – a condition known as akathisia, where constant agitation is experienced, has occurred and been reported in conjunction with suicidal thoughts, hostility and violent behavior.
• Blood thinners – severe bleeding may result from a minor cut or scratch, and death may result because of the excessive blood loss.
• Cholesterol reducing statins – prolonged use of statin medication can produce side effects such as liver toxicity, muscle inflammation and cataracts.
• Chemotherapy drugs – risks associated with extended use includes liver and/or kidney toxicity, lung disease, a suppressed immune system, fetal death and congenital abnormalities.
• Prednisone – health disorders such as hypertension, osteoporosis, peptic ulcers, diabetes, cataracts and intestinal bleeding have been associated with extended use.
