When it comes to maintaining your health, your doctor can be your most trusted friend. They’re your partner, your guide, and your confidant in wellness. So when your doctor prescribes you medication or recommends the use of a medical device, you trust that the doctor believes it to be effective and safe.
The majority of medications or devices prescribed by doctors are approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). As part of the approval process, drug companies must fully disclose all possible side effects of using their medication or medical devices so that both you and your doctor can embark on a course of treatment with your eyes open. With so many precautions against injury, everyone should have the right to feel secure when taking prescribed medicines or utilizing a medical device that we believe will improve our health and safety.

Side Effects of Bad Drugs or Faulty Medical Device
Unfortunately, the truth is that dangerous, defective drugs and medical devices injure thousands of people each and every year due to publicly-unknown side effects. Oftentimes, the drug companies knew about these side effects all along and failed to disclose them to the FDA. Drugs like Xarelto, Avandia, and Topomax; and medical devices like hip replacements, morcellators, and IVC filters have turned out to cause massive life-long injuries to patients who were just trying to recover and move on with their lives.
When a medical device or medication is defective, it routinely leads to unknown, harmful side effects. Some defective drug and medical device victims are lucky, only suffering temporary physical injuries. But many more suffer permanent effects that plague them for the rest of their lives. Thousands of people require ongoing treatment each year to mitigate the effects of the harm caused to them by medical devices or medications. These harmful side-effects can even prove fatal.
What to Do If You Use a Bad Drug or Faulty Medical Device?
If you believe you are experiencing life-threatening side effects from a bad drug or medical device, you should consult your doctor immediately. Only a doctor is qualified to offer you medical advice and adjust your treatment. If you do not believe that your current doctor is providing the care that you require, you may wish to get a second opinion. No matter what, do not stop taking any prescribed medication without consulting a licensed medical professional.
