Dangerous Drugs

Types of Dangerous Drugs

Dangerous drugs claim countless lives each year. Unfortunately, at this time in our society, dangerous and toxic drugs are often prescribed with little information provided to the patient regarding side effects. Some side effects of drugs are only discovered after they have been use for a number of years. Financial gain and dishonesty contribute to the irresponsible administering of drugs. These drugs can be prescribed with little thought given to the full negative medical, emotional, and psychological ramifications endured by the individual. More pharmaceutical drugs seem to appear on the market every day, and one should be alert to the possibility that they could be unsafe.

The FDA has streamlined its approval lines for the new release of drugs, enabling unsafe drugs to reach the market without reasonable testing and research of side effects in some notable cases.

Injured by a dangerous drug?

Suicidal tendencies and violence in teenagers is just one of the side effects recently linked to psychotropic drugs such as Ritalin, Prozac and Zoloft. Paxil, commonly prescribed for depression, was the second most prescribed antidepressant in America, despite the fact it had not been FDA approved for minors. Most recently it was linked to a large number of teenage suicides, and it has also been known to increase the chance of birth heart defects.

Until you can be sure that you are being prescribed medication by honest doctors and that medicine is being manufactured by responsible drug companies and not "short-circuited" through FDA approval process, it could be dangerous to take certain drugs.
