Austin Drug Contamination Lawyer
Patients given a prescription or over-the-counter medication for an injury or disease should be able to trust that the drug manufacturer provided them with a safe product. Unfortunately, however, some drugs can become contaminated due to manufacturing errors or improper packaging, potentially leading to serious health concerns for a patient.
Drug contamination is a health risk that patient shouldn’t have to face. If you’ve suffered because of a dangerous, contaminated medication, you may be entitled to pursue compensation from the pharmaceutical manufacturer at fault. For more information about your legal options, contact the committed Austin drug contamination attorneys of the Law Offices of Vic Feazell, P.C., today by calling 512-372-8100.
Consequences of Drug Contamination
Drug contamination can occur in two different ways, the first during the manufacturing process. If the manufacturing facility contains a contaminant or if any of the ingredients are unsafe, the whole batch produced with that contaminant can be dangerous for patients to use. On the other hand, contamination can also occur if the drugs are improperly packaged.
A contaminated drug can cause very serious health issues, including:
- Respiratory problems due to mold exposure
- Brain damage
- Skin disorders
- Confusion
- Fatigue
Depending on the source of contamination, the side effects from taking a contaminated medication can vary between mild discomfort to life-threatening emergencies.
