Representation for Personal Injury Lawsuits in Wisconsin

When a consumer receives a prescription for medication from his or her physician he or she would likely believe that drug is safe. However, safe does not necessarily mean harmless. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, “safe” means that the benefits of the drug outweigh the risks for the population the drug is intended to treat and for its intended use. A defective drug is one whose potential risks offset its anticipated benefits. Likewise, a defective drug is one whose potential risks outweigh its possible benefits to the consumer. There are numerous drugs whose risks far outweight the benefits. Some of these drugs are listed below. Feel free to call Attorney Jon P. Groth with questions if you were injured after taking a prescription drug.

Chantix

According to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2007 complaints regarding Chantix were more numerous than any other drug. It is related to about 988 serious injuries.

Chantix is a drug marketed by Pfizer to help stop the addictive cravings of smoking. It has some minor side effects and some very serious side effects. If you have suffered some serious side effects please contact me.

• depression, including suicidal thoughts and tendencies
• aggressive behavior
• hepatiti
• liver failure
• severe allergic reactions and SJS

Heparin

If you were administered Heparin between November 2007 and February 2008, suffered a severe allergic reaction and live in Wisconsin it is important that you figure out your legal rights.

Some of the severe reactions to Heparin are difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, excessive sweating and rapidly falling blood pressure.

It 2008 the FDA admitted that they violated their own policies regarding inspecting the production plant when they allowed the imported raw heparin from China.

Fosamax

There are very few attorneys in Wisconsin who actually help injured victims who have taken Fosamax.

Just a quick FYI about Fosamax. It is a “bisphosphonate” that was created by Merck to help those suffering from Osteoporosis. It turns out that there is a strong link between Fosamax and ONJ (Osteonecrosis of the Jaw) and/or low impact stress fractures of the femur. Bone tissue is weakened and fails to heal after just minor “trauma.” There is the potential of infection and surgery if the problem isn’t dealt with early.

If you suffered an injury after taking Fosamax feel free to contact me here.
