Drug recalls remove defective or potentially harmful medication from the marketplace and are a serious matter. The manufacturer could voluntarily initiate this action, or the FDA may request it, but either way, using recalled drugs could lead to serious health risks.
If you have concerns about recent drug recalls and what they mean for you, our compassionate dangerous drug attorneys at Bordas & Bordas are here to help you.
Pharmaceutical companies have a legal duty to ensure their products are safe and to warn patients of any potential risks. If the manufacturer becomes aware of a defect, contamination, or mislabeling issues with a medication, it would likely issue a voluntary recall to attempt to keep consumers like you safe.
The Federal Drug Administration (FDA) may have hundreds of recalled drugs listed on its website, but the most recently affected drugs include common products such as Famotidine injections (H2 stomach acid blockers), Sucralfate tablets (for ulcer treatment and prevention), and over-the-counter medicines such as Zicam (cold and allergy relief) and Orajel (oral care and pain relief).
Whether the recall issued was due to abnormal test results, quality control actions, or microbial contamination, we recommend that you contact your doctor or pharmacist for more information, as taking recalled medications could be harmful to your health.
If you feel a recent drug recall affects you, take action soon. Check whether the recall includes your medication, and follow the FDA or manufacturer’s instructions exactly. It is important to ask your doctor if you should continue taking the medication, as they may consider switching your prescription to an alternative drug.
However, the impact of the recall depends on what class it is, based on severity. Class I drug recalls are the most serious and, in some cases, could lead to death. Class II recalls could cause temporary or medically reversible health conditions. A Class III recall is the least serious and may not cause any adverse reactions.
If you sustain injury from taking a recalled drug, the first thing to do is seek immediate medical attention for treatment of any side effects. After getting the help you need, report the issue to the FDA’s MedWatch program. Gather your evidence, such as hospital records and your prescriptions, and contact the law offices of Bordas & Bordas for assistance in filing a claim. Our attorneys are experienced in cases involving drug recalls and could help you understand how a recall may affect you and whether to take legal action.
In addition to the medications listed above, there are many more recalled drugs. Your medication should not negatively impact your life, and if a pharmaceutical manufacturer was negligent, you deserve compensation for your losses.
