Contaminated Medication


American drug companies make and sell incredible quantities of prescription and over-the-counter medication every day. Some people need these medications as part of medical treatment and others need them for pain relief. Medication can improve your quality of life or contribute to the cure of an illness. However, sometimes drugs could contain contaminates that can make those who take them seriously ill.

If you believe that the medication you have taken was contaminated, speak with an experienced personal injury attorney in your area as soon as possible. It is important to do everything you can to draw attention to a dangerous drug in order to protect other innocent consumers.

Potential Contaminates

When drugs are prepared at a manufacturing company, outside contaminates could get into the medication due to the carelessness of workers or managers. Workers should follow safety standards to prevent outside substances from getting into the medication. These contaminates could include, among others:

Fungus Bacteria Mold

Drugs can also become toxic if they are not properly stored or refrigerated in stores and pharmacies. It is the responsibility of pharmacists and store employees to properly store medications so that customers do not get sick unnecessarily.

If you have suffered because of the negligence of another person or entity, it is important that the responsible party is held accountable for their mistakes. You should not have to suffer and bear the costs of medical treatment due to the mistakes that someone else made. Through a successful personal injury lawsuit, you may be able to recover compensation for your accident-related costs.
