Defective Drugs

Injured by Defective Drugs? Krieger Law Group has Your Back

We naturally assume that prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and medical devices are safe, if only because it’s the federal Food and Drug Administration’s job to regulate and approve those products. Unfortunately, though, there are devices and drugs on the market that are anything but safe. As a result, those in the U.S. suffer life-disrupting – and sometimes life-threatening – injuries.

Here are just a few examples of drugs and medical devices that could have negative health consequences:

• Saxagliptin (Ognlzya), a diabetes medication that may contribute to heart failure and pancreatitis
• Zantac, a heartburn treatment that may increase risk for several different cancers, including stomach, colon, lung, and uterine cancers
• Hernia mesh, used in surgical procedures, can lead to abdominal pain, organ perforation, and kidney failure
• Metal-on-metal hip implants can lead to nerve, muscle, and bone damage
