Drug Contamination
Pharmaceutical companies produce and manufacture enormous numbers of drugs each year. In many cases, individuals rely on these drugs to live. In other cases, individuals take drugs to relieve pain, fevers, and other non-chronic conditions ‘ drugs that improve their quality of life.
Because of the way that drugs work when they are dissolved in the blood stream, contaminated drugs can cause individuals serious harm. If you or someone you love suffered severe illness and harm after taking a contaminated drug, contact the Madison product liability lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, today at 800-242-2874.
Types of Contamination
Drug contamination often occurs due to carelessness during the manufacturing stage. This may occur when a foreign substance is introduced into the manufacturing process or because of the negligence of a supervisor or employee.
Common drug contaminants include:
- Bacteria
- Fungi
- Inorganic substances
Each of these contaminants can cause an individual to become seriously ill, especially since the contaminant can easily enter the blood stream as a result of its presence in the drug. Ingesting contaminated drugs can cause an individual to suffer poisoning, which may lead to endocarditis, sepsis, or other related conditions.
Since contamination occurs during manufacturing, pharmaceutical companies are often responsible for the illnesses that result from their contaminated drugs.
