Oklahoma Defective Products Injury Law Library TOPIC: Dangerous Drugs

The prescription drugs that are meant to help us can often times cause serious injury. The manufacturers of prescription and over-the-counter drugs have an obligation to make sure the drugs are safe and properly labeled.

Drug manufacturers sometimes get the drugs they develop on the market before long-term side effects are known so they can start making money off them as soon as possible. When inadequate testing is done with any drug, the results can lead to serious injury or death. It is at this point that the drug is considered a dangerous drug.

Adverse effects reported by patients who are taking dangerous drugs may be kept secret with the excuse that an investigation needs to be done to make sure the injuries suffered were caused by the drug in question. This leaves many patients taking a dangerous drug without even knowing.
