Prescription Recalls

The pharmaceutical industry is approving more and more drugs each year. While all new drugs must pass a clinical trial period before they are deemed safe for use by the public, occasionally, unexpected side effects occur after approval. When this happens, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration must administer a recall of the drug and offer compensation to consumers who suffered damages as a result of its use.

If you or someone you know has been harmed by an unsafe drug, you may be eligible to receive compensation. Contact Cincinnati personal injury lawyer Shawn M. Stepleton to discuss the details of your case. Call 513-321-7733 today to schedule a free initial consultation.

Steps to Take Following a Prescription Recall

If you or someone in your family has been prescribed a medication that was later recalled, there are some important steps you should follow to ensure your safety and well-being:

• First, stop taking the drug immediately
• Contact your primary healthcare provider
• Receive an evaluation to determine whether or not you are suffering from any of the drug’s negative side-effects
• Return the recalled drug to the pharmacy, so that it may be properly disposed of
• Contact a personal injury lawyer to learn more about your legal options
