We have previously discussed some of the life-threatening risks associated with use of the popular birth control medication Yaz. Those include serious blood clots in the leg that can break free and travel to the heart or the brain through the blood stream. In its new location, the blood clot can cause heart attacks or strokes within its victims. To date, over 10,000 women have filed a lawsuit against Bayer Pharmaceuticals, Yaz’z manufacturer, claiming that the company either knew or should have known of the serious risks associated with the drug and failed to warn consumers of these dangers. To redress these claims, Bayer has set aside $1 billion to compensate women who have suffered Yaz’s side effects and the families of those women who were killed by the defective drug. Unfortunately, it seems that the dangers of Yaz do not end with blood clots, stroke and heart attack. (read more by clicking on article)

It is painful enough to have a child with a psychological disorder. To see that same child suffer physically due to the adverse affects of a defective medication is more than any parent should have to experience. What if it was a male child who developed enlarged breasts and had to endure the trauma of having a radical mastectomy? This is an actual scenario that has been repeated countless times due to the adverse affects of a drug called Risperdal.

Consumers typically place a high level of trust and faith in their physicians. When your physician prescribes a drug, it is common to trust such a recommendation without thinking twice. In fact, a belief that the physician has your best medical interests at heart is generally the reason why you will blindly accept such advice without researching the particular medication. Unfortunately, sometimes doctors prescribe medications or treatments that have debilitating side effects. Normally, the doctor is unaware of the dangers that these defective medical treatments pose to the patient.
That ignorance is not limited to the medical professionals who actually treat patients with medication either. In a never-ending rush to bring new drugs to the market, pharmaceutical giants often fail to perform exhaustive tests on new drugs. Often testing is rushed and overlooked by the FDA, resulting in failures to recognize dangerous side-effects.
