Prescription
Drug Lawsuits occur due to a wide array of reasons. Some Prescription
lawsuits are a result of side effects like migraine headaches or other
non-life threatening side effects. Other lawsuits are prompted after a
life threatening heart attack or pulmonary disease. In some cases such as
Vioxx or Celebrex, the dangerous side effects are clear which prompt the
FDA to ban the drugs saving many lives in the process. Unfortunately, many
times the effects of a prescription drug are not know for years or even
decades after the drugs are first being used causing people with seemingly
healthy lives to develop life threatening problems decades after they took
the drug. Below you will see a list of drugs which have been banned due to
these risks. Click on the buttons below for more
information.
