Dangerous Drugs

When you purchase a prescription drug or over-the-counter medication, you hope that it will cure your ailment and you certainly expect it to be safe. However, as demonstrated by recent events, some pharmaceutical companies fail to adequately test their products before rushing them to the market and some companies have been alleged to have withheld critical and damaging studies and information from the public and the Federal Drug Administration. While some prescription drugs, like Vioxx and Fen Phen, have received national news attention over the past years for their adverse and harmful side effects, there are also over-the-counter medicines that have been shown to cause serious and permanent injuries. For example, Stephens, Anderson & Cummings currently represents several clients who lost all sense of smell and taste as a result of using the nasal spray known as Zicam. While most prescription drugs are safe when used and prescribed properly, serious damage can occur when a pharmacy misfills a prescription by providing the patient with either the wrong dose or the wrong drug. Stephens, Anderson & Cummings has successfully prosecuted several misfilled prescription cases throughout Texas.
