Drug manufacturers are permitted to sell prescription drugs that can generate side effects if they clearly describe the possible side effect on the label attached to a certain prescription or over-the-counter medication. If a drug manufacturer did not present an adequate warning about the possible adverse side effects of a drug, your personal injury attorney will claim the lack of an adequate warning prevented you from making an informed decision concerning the purchase of the drug in question.
The lack of an appropriate warning can include an omission of side effects, as well as a warning presented in hard-to-read print or placed in a hard-to-locate spot on the bottle.
