Do you know about the potential risk of dangerous drugs in New York City? Do you know that your prescription drug may have side effects? Did you read the label on the bottles? Are there precautions included?

Many people take their prescription drugs without reading the fine print: warnings of risks and side effects of such drugs. These must be considered. In 2007, GlaxosmithKline agreed to the request of FDA to include a warning label called “black-box” on Avandia (approved to treat type 2 diabetes). The warning was to say that Avandia may cause or worsen heart failure. Patients who took this medicine needed close monitoring! Prior to this, there was clinical trials proved significant increase in heart attack risk and heart-related deaths in patients taking these drugs. Any heart victim due to Avandia intake can make a legal claim for damages!

Food & Drug Administration (FDA) scientists are not confident about the agency‘s monitoring of the safety of prescription drugs being sold now. There are many prescription and over-the-counter drugs being sold to millions of consumers. These drugs have possible side effects, as evidenced by recent recalls of drugs. The problem is that the recall of these drugs could only be done in very serious cases. Others with possible risks and side effects are still circulating in the market and maybe even without proper warning risks due to lack of proof.

We normally buy over-the-counter medicine. Find out about them and check the labels for precautions and warnings. Bear in mind that there could be possible risks especially for your children.
