Pharmaceutical Litigation and Drug Regulation Abroad - Florida Drug Recall Resource
The majority of the dangerous drugs listed on this website are available across the world. However, while the chemical makeup of the drugs is the same the world over, the regulation of the drugs is often very different. Pharmaceutical regulation, as well as litigation, often occurs abroad before reaching the United States. Our Florida lawyers stay informed about pharmaceutical litigation and regulation abroad, so that we can help prescription drug users in our Florida community protect themselves and take action.
The European Medicines Agency, the agency that regulates the distribution, production, and marketing of prescription medication in the European Union offers helpful information on prescription medication. While the FDA, the U.S. regulatory agency, serves as an excellent source of information for users of prescription drugs, European agencies may offer different insights or recall a drug before the FDA takes action. When you are using a prescription drug that may be dangerous, it is helpful to have access to information from throughout the world. Visit the EMEA website.
You can also read more about pharmaceutical litigation and regulation regarding the following drugs:
Vioxx®
In South Australia, approximately 500 Vioxx® users are being considered to join in a class action suit against Merck Pharmaceuticals. This pharmaceutical litigation may be linked to numerous class action suits in the U.S., and plaintiffs stand to win significant compensation.
Crestor®
The European Union regulatory commission recently added a warning box to the label of the cholesterol-lowering drug, Crestor®. This warning informs patients receiving the drug of the increased incidence of rhabdomyolysis among those people taking Crestor® to lower their cholesterol. The FDA claims its current labeling informs of the same risks, and has not changed their labeling.
