St. Louis Defective Drug Attorney
Free Consultation · No Fees Unless You Recover Compensation · State and Nationwide
The Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) strictly enforce pharmaceutical product testing before any prescription medication or surgical product is released to the medical marketplace. Despite some of the toughest testing requirements in the world, pharmaceutical companies continue to fudge results and push dangerous and defective drugs onto unwary consumers. Over the years, a significant number of prescription and over-the-counter medications have been subject to recall because of improper testing or unforeseen side effects.

- Accutane - this is a drug commonly prescribed to treat severe acne. It has been shown to increase the risk of inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis.
