Charleston Drug Recall Lawyers

In the past century there have been few advances in medicine that rival the scope and benefit of the developments that have been made in pharmaceutical drugs. Extensive research and testing of powerful chemicals has yielded a number of beneficial products that are capable of either curing an illness or managing its symptoms.

But the powerful business interests and the occasionally short-sighted regulatory agencies that bring a medication from an unrefined idea to the marketplace sometimes fail to properly consider the potential adverse effects of these drugs. Or worse, they lie outright about findings that are detrimental to sales.

The people of South Carolina should be able to rely on the Food and Drug Administration and pharmaceutical companies to ensure that all drugs are safe for public use.

Drug Recalls from Recent Years

The problem of dangerous drugs has worsened since the laws governing pharmaceutical advertisements were relaxed in the 1990’s, creating a culture in which name brand recognition of a product can result in people being viewed not as patients but as consumers. As a result, sales of some drugs have attained previously unimaginable heights only to later expose serious and even life-threatening flaws. Some notable drugs that have been recalled are:

• Fen-Phen
• Phenylpropanolamine (Dexatrim)
• Rofecoxib (Vioxx)
• Tegaserod (Zelnorm)
• Rimonabant (Accomplia)
