As advances in medical science continue, new drug and pharmaceutical companies rush to capture market share for consumers to purchase their drugs. While many advances in medical science have brought us life-saving or life-prolonging drugs, all too often the rush to get products to the shelves results in dangerous or deadly consequences for patients.

Dangerous drugs are the result of a number of factors. They can be caused by insufficient testing of drugs and their premature release into the marketplace before companies are aware of the risks and side-effects involved in taking the drug. Dangerous drugs can also be the result of a practice known as "off-label" use where the drugs are used for diseases or conditions that they were not originally designed or tested for. In these cases, unknown harmful side effects can result when patients are prescribed drugs for conditions that the drug was never intended for.

Sometimes, drug and pharmaceutical companies know that a drug is dangerous and has shown serious, dangerous side effects, but fail to properly warn consumers about those known risks of taking the drug. Even drugs that have passed inspection by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can still be dangerous and cause serious injury to consumers.

Dangerous drug cases can be extremely complex, expensive, and difficult to take to court. Know that the team of attorneys, paralegals, and staff at Bahe Cook Cantley & Nefzger PLC has the experience and resources to handle even the most difficult dangerous drug case for you or your family.
