Defective Drugs and Medical Malpractice
Dangerous Medications, Defective Drugs & Unsafe Products
Each year thousands of children and adults are injured and/or killed by defective drugs in the United States. We often take for granted and assume that these products and medications are safe for use by ourselves and our loved ones.
Many drugs, prescription or over-the-counter (OTC), can have serious adverse side effects. Side effects can range from a headache or upset stomach to more serious injuries such as liver or kidney failure, heart problems, or even death.
For more than 25 years, the personal injury attorneys at the Fort Lauderdale law firm of Abramowitz, Pomerantz & Coffey, P.A. have been seeking justice for victims of dangerous medications and defective drugs throughout Florida and the United States.
Some prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications which may have been linked to adverse side effects include, but are not limited to:
| Bextra | Celebrex | Chantix |
| Fosamax | Hydroxycut | Levaquin |
| Ortho Evra | Oxycontin | Risperdal |
| Trasylol | Vytorin | Yaz |
| Zicam |
