Drug Recall
When your doctor prescribes a drug to help you manage or overcome a health problem, you trust that it will be safe and effective. However, prescription drugs, over-the-counter remedies, and herbal health supplements can have dangerous, sometimes life-threatening, side effects, including kidney failure, heart attack, stroke, and even wrongful death.
The recall of dangerous drugs has become a common occurrence in the recent past. There are many reasons for a drug or dietary supplement recall to be enacted. When an FDA approved drug or supplement is taken in the correct and prescribed dosage and poses health risks, including serious medical reactions and death, a recall may be established. In the event of a pharmaceutical recall the item will be removed from the market to protect consumers.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is in charge of keeping the public safe from dangerous and harmful pharmaceuticals, medical aids, and food and drinks, as well as other consumer items. The pharmaceutical companies are held liable for any medical issues or deaths associated with the use of their products.
