A TEXAS LAW FIRM with a NATIONAL REPUTATION for RELENTLESSLY PURSUING JUSTICE.

When you are ill, a drug or medical device that is supposed to help you can actually do harm if it’s found to have dangerous side effects or harmful defects.

ATTORNEYS FOR DANGEROUS DRUGS AND DEVICES

In some circumstances, drug companies may rush dangerous drugs to the market without adequate testing. They may also keep selling and making drugs despite doctor and patient warnings.

The lawyers at Hilliard Law have experience representing drug and medical device recall victims. In many situations, others have been injured by the same drug that has harmed you and have also taken legal action.

DRUGS THAT HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE:

  • Actos, a popular Type 2 diabetes drug that caused bladder cancer in some patients
  • Amiodarone, a drug for treating irregular heart rhythm has been found to cause severe lung damage, blindness, and death.
  • Avandia is a Type 2 diabetes drug linked to life-threatening heart side effects.
  • Bardoxolone Methyl is an experimental therapy for advanced chronic kidney disease. Drug trials stopped because of dangerous side effects and deaths.
  • Bendectin was used for morning sickness until it was linked with birth defects. Recently reintroduced to the market as Diclegis.
  •  BMS-986094 was an experimental Hepatitis C drug. Some patients in the drug study suffered heart or liver damage.
  • Diethylstilbestorl (DES), a drug used years ago to prevent miscarriage and now affecting the children and grandchildren of women who took it.
  • Essure, birth control device has caused life-changing physical and mental complications.
  • Elmiron, a treatment for painful bladder syndrome, has been linked to permanent vision problems.
  • Lexapro, an anti-depressant marketed as safe for pregnant women led to birth defects and autism in their babies.
  • Mirapex, prescribed for Parkinson’s and restless leg syndrome, can cause heart damage and compulsive behavior.
  • Paxil, an anti-depressant marketed as safe for pregnant women was responsible for birth defects and autism in their babies.
  • Risperdal was marketed for bipolar disorder and autism in children. The maker did not disclose severe side effects: breast enlargement in young men.
  • Taxotere is a chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat breast cancer and has caused permanent hair loss in many patients.
  • Zofran is prescribed for morning sickness and has been linked to devastating birth defects.
  • Zantac, the heartburn medication has been recalled due to potential carcinogenic concerns.

Drug companies can be just as irresponsible with medical devices such as heart defibrillators, breast implants, and artificial hips and knees.
