Cincinnati Pharmaceutical False Claims Lawyer
Drug companies are under enormous pressure to release new products and present large profit margins, and this unfortunately leads to unscrupulous practices at times. The claims made in the packaging, advertising, and marketing of a drug must be fully accurate, and anything that misleads the consumer to believe that the product does something it does not is illegal.
False claims do not simply mislead consumers into purchasing products they do not need, they cause real, demonstrable actual harm to people suffering from illnesses whose symptoms go untreated while they use an ineffective or dangerous drug. If you have fallen victim to the misleading claims of a pharmaceutical company, contact the experienced Cincinnati false claims attorneys at Stepleton Dugan, LLC, by calling 513-321-7733 today.
Kinds of False Claims
Drug companies can attempt to make illicit gains in a variety of ways, but the following are a few of the more common means of deception:
- Claiming the drug can do something it cannot
- Failing to adequately label side effects
- Bribing doctors to promote and prescribe their drug
- Advertising for off-label uses of the drug not approved by the FDA
Because of the already delicate position in which many prescription drug users find themselves, it is wholly unconscionable that a pharmaceutical company would seek to willfully misrepresent the facts regarding their product merely for the sake of increased profits. Do not allow this to go unpunished.
