Kinds of Drug Defects

When someone takes an over-the-counter or a prescribed medicine, they assume that the drug was made or mixed properly. In some cases, however, a mistake is made and the medicine is defective. Defective medicines can be very dangerous, causing adverse reactions that threaten a person’s health and can sometimes be fatal.

If you have been harmed by a defective drug, you may be entitled to pursue financial compensation from a drug company or pharmacy that is responsible.

Types of Defects in Medicines

There are a number of different ways in which a pharmaceutical product may be rendered unsafe for use. These include:

• Manufacturing Defects – A mistake was made in the making of a medication, due to machine malfunction, contamination, or incorrect mixing, making certain batches of a drug defective.
• Design Defects – There are problems inherent in the chemical composition of the medication, making all batches defective.
• Inaccurate Labeling – Failure to provide adequate warnings, instructions, and dose information.

Whenever a drug is defective, those patients who take it are at risk of developing life-threatening health conditions or could suffer catastrophic events.
