Charleston Pharmaceutical False Claims Lawyers

There are laws that strictly regulate the claims that drug companies are allowed to make about their products. One of the functions of the Food and Drug Administration is to oversee the implementation of those rules and to ensure that there is a valid basis for any assertions made. Despite these protections, however, consumers often discover that pharmaceutical products either fail to achieve their stated capacities or even have adverse side effects that are not acknowledged by the accompanying documentation. In some cases, the reliance upon a medication that does not perform as advertised can lead to costly and dangerous delays of other medical treatment.

If it appears that the manufacturer of a drug that you have taken may have intentionally misrepresented the product’s effectiveness or outright lied about its use, then you may be able to seek financial compensation through a legal action.

The Risks of False Claims

There would seem to be a prevailing duty for pharmaceutical companies to exercise full disclosure and honesty about their goods in their communications with the public. Yet it is disturbingly common for drug manufacturers to exaggerate the positive effects and to downplay or omit reporting on the negative effects associated with their products. Some of the risks that consumers face because of false claims include:

• Worsening of progressive conditions
• Delay of necessary medical treatment
• Wasted financial expenditure
• Harmful side effects or drug interactions
