Drug Recalls and Medical Devices

Drug companies can rush dangerous drugs to the market without adequate testing or keep drugs on the market despite warnings from doctors and patients. Recent drugs that have been shown to have dangerous side effects include Actos, Amiodarone, Avandia and Lexapro. Over the years, there have been many others including Diethylstilbestrol (DES) and Bendictin.

In 2011, the FDA warned that patients taking the diabetes drug Actos for more than a year may have an increased risk of bladder cancer.

Drug companies are equally irresponsible with medical devices such as heart defibrilators and breast implants.
