Over the Counter Drugs

Many people think that since over the counter drugs do not require prescriptions, they have no potentially harmful effects. In reality, this is untrue. Individuals can suffer overdose, drug interactions, poisoning, and other serious adverse health affects from using over the counter drugs.

In many cases, these effects occur because of labeling errors. If you or someone you love suffered harm after properly using an over the counter drug, contact the Madison defective pharmaceuticals lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ®, today at 800-242-2874.

The Dangers of Over the Counter Drugs

Over the counter drugs are given this designation when they are found to produce few side effects and are determined to be safe for the general public. Unfortunately, some of these drugs may be harmful when they are:

• Mislabeled
• Faultily manufactured
• Produced with harmful substances

When an individual takes an over-the-counter drug with one of these defects, his or her wellbeing may be put in jeopardy. Some individuals may suffer simple discomfort while others may suffer permanent brain or organ damage. In the worst cases, individuals may even pass away from their injuries.

Victims of dangerous over the counter drugs may be entitled to financial compensation from a negligent drug company. This compensation may be granted for medical bills, lost wages, disability, or other relevant damages.
