The Dangers of Pharmaceutical Drugs
All too often, prescription and over-the-counter drugs are released onto the marketplace without a full comprehension of their risks, placing consumers of the product at risk of injury or death. In some cases, drug companies market their products even after evidence of serious side effects has been documented. By law, drug manufacturers are responsible for injuries if their product is defective or unreasonably dangerous. Manufacturers also have a responsibility to properly warn consumers of possible side effects from using the product.
The Risks of Dietary Supplements
Vitamins, herbs, minerals, and other dietary supplements are quickly becoming a popular way to improve medical conditions and overall wellbeing. Unfortunately, these products are not subject to the FDA review and approval process. The FDA does require that manufacturers assure that supplements are safe before bringing them to the market, but no formal testing or approval system exists for dietary supplements and similar products. Without this level of safety testing, consumers are in danger of ingesting a dangerous product.
