Dangerous Prescriptions and Drugs Injury Attorney in Las Vegas
At the first symptom of pain, indisposition, or discomfort, the most common thing is that a person is prescribed or resorts to a medication, even if they do not have greater knowledge of the effects that it may have on their body. The consumption of dangerous drugs may not only not be effective on the symptoms that the person presents, but also some types, such as antibiotics and those for continuous use, should not be consumed, since a medication error could seriously threaten their health. Prescriptions or medical prescriptions must take into account all the minimum necessary factors related to the patient’s health for adequate care, thus ensuring that their consumption does not cause side effects. The omission of data and incomplete or incorrect information increases the risk of unleashing tragedies when acquiring any kind of medicine.
All medication available on the market must be duly approved by control agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One of the most common mistakes is not to prevent or alert other people about the acquisition and use of a certain class of potentially dangerous drugs. For more information and to obtain a list of drugs that have been withdrawn from the market for being considered harmful to health, you can consult the FDA website, www.fda.gov. If you or one of your family members has been the victim of a case involving a dangerous prescription or medication, immediately contact a lawyer who specializes in the matter. Due to their nature, these types of claims can be extremely complicated. If your intention is to receive compensation for damages, your best option is to hire a professional.
Types of Drugs That May be Considered Dangerous
Many people have the habit of consuming medicines without a prescription. Although common, this is an extremely problematic practice. After all, there are dangerous drugs that, if used without a professional’s recommendation, can cause a variety of side effects.
As tempting as it may be to get rid of discomfort with a visit to the pharmacy at the most, the ideal is always to visit your doctor. Here are 7 common types of medications and their side effects:
1. Antipyretic and analgesic
The main class of medicines used without a prescription, fever reducers, and pain relievers, can have serious consequences for your health. While the former can cause gastric bleeding, the latter causes liver damage, as well as the release of hepatotoxins, when used for a long time.
2. Muscle relaxant
The big problem with a muscle relaxant is the risk of addiction due to the sensations it provides. In addition to relieving muscle pain and sedation, the drug causes drowsiness, which places it in the class of dangerous drugs.
3. Nasal decongestant
There is a general warning from doctors regarding its use, which cannot exceed five days in a row. This is because continued use of the drug can lead to addiction.
4. Antifungal
The issue is that, when using this type of medication alone, diseases such as dermatophytosis and candidiasis can be difficult to cure. That is, something simple can end up becoming something very complicated.
5. Eye drops
Prescribed to ensure greater comfort for users, many people end up using it without a prescription and in higher than recommended amounts. What they do not know is that, when consumed exaggeratedly, eye drops can cause tear secretion, eye damage, and even glaucoma.
6. Anti-allergy
Headaches, a feeling of sedation, and thickening of the mucous membranes are just some of the symptoms caused by the medication. Therefore, its use should only be done under medical prescription.
7. Antibiotic
Medication that kills specific bacteria without harming the body’s cells, its improper use can have serious health consequences. Excessive intake of the drug causes the bacteria present in the human body to become immune to the drug.
Dangerous Drugs Withdrawn from the Market by the FDA
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has suspended, banned, and cautiously intervened in some drugs. Among which are:
• Nimesulide
Nimesulide is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), authorized in many countries for the treatment of acute pain, symptomatic treatment of painful osteoarthritis, and primary dysmenorrhea, however, the use of nimesulide can present toxic health risks, a constant concern for world health agencies.
• Invokana
Due to its mechanism of action, canagliflozin, by increasing urinary glucose excretion (UEG) induces an osmotic diuresis, which can reduce intravascular volume and lower blood pressure.
• Xarelto
The active substance in Xarelto is rivaroxaban, which belongs to a group of medicines called antithrombotic agents, which prevent the formation of thrombi.
• Decongex Plus
The formulation consists of a fast-acting and anti-allergic nasal decongestant, which controls and reduces symptoms related to flu, colds, rhinitis, and sinusitis. It is contraindicated in cardiac patients (with heart problems), with severe arterial hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, and/or with other circulatory disorders.
• Sibutramine
The most common adverse events are dry mouth, constipation, and insomnia. Headache, nervousness, palpitations, nausea, dizziness, increased blood pressure, and excessive sweating may also occur.
• Cerivastatin (Baycol)
It was withdrawn from the market for causing rhabdomyolysis, which is the destruction of muscle fibers, which leads to the release of components present inside muscle cells into the bloodstream, causing symptoms such as lack of strength, muscle fatigue, decreased urine, or dark urine.
• Pemoline (Cylert)
Clinical experience suggests that, in psychotic children, pemoline administration may exacerbate symptoms of thought and behavior disorders.
• Isotretinoin (Accutane)
The use of isotretinoin can have effects on mental health, such as the risk of depression and even suicide.
• Ranitidine (Zantac), among others.
Who is Liable for a Prescription or Drugs Claim?
The responsibility for a harmful prescription falls on the medical professional who at the time of prescribing it was negligent. In the case of medicine, those responsible can be the pharmacist who oversaw its preparation, the establishments (pharmacies, supermarkets, etc.) that were in charge of its distribution, and of course, the doctor who recommended it. These types of claims are quite complex since the side effects do not usually appear immediately and can even manifest in a very subtle way at first. For all this, it is recommended to have the expertise of a lawyer specialized in the subject, who can help you present your claim in such a way that your compensation is not compromised.

“I was injured in a car accident. The lawyer made sure that I went to my chiropractor sessions and that I get the medical attention needed.
