Defective Drug Injury Lawyer In West Virginia

Prescription drugs play an important role in our healthcare. However, many people do not realize the dangers that may result from the use of a prescription drug. In fact, the harm caused by a prescription medication can be worse than the condition the drug was prescribed to treat. Many believe that if the medication they are taking has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and prescribed by their doctor then it is safe. Unfortunately, this isn’t always true. The use of FDA approved and doctor prescribed prescription drugs can result in serious and sometimes fatal injuries.

In addition, once a medication has received FDA approval and is approved to market, pharmaceutical companies will regularly promote and encourage doctors to prescribe the medication for a different purpose. The practice of prescribing a drug approved for one purpose but using it for another is commonly referred to as an “off-label” use. The use of a prescription medication off-label can also lead to significant injuries.
