Medication, drug and device harm
Medicines and medical products can cause serious harm, especially when the risks weren’t explained or warning signs were missed. These articles cover specific drugs and recalls.
An overview
Medicines and medical products can cause harm when the wrong one is prescribed, the dose is wrong, side effects aren’t explained or monitored, or a product is faulty.
At the milder endA side effect that settles once the medicine is stopped, but that could have been avoided with proper warnings or monitoring.
At the more serious endPermanent vision loss, or a serious psychiatric injury, linked to a prescribed medicine.
Every situation is different. What matters is what happened, how it has affected you, and whether the care fell below what was reasonable. Even where an injury is less severe, you may still be able to recover costs such as treatment and lost income.
