Frustraiting Drug Companies

I find it so incredible what big business can get away with, you would think with all the supposed agencies that are created to ensure products go through strict testing before it hits the market that we still find out that many of the drugs that are made to help people actually make things worse. I read recently about Trasylol lawsuit that have started to be filed. Trasylol is a drug that is used to control blood loss in heart surgeries but recently use of this drug has been linked to kidney damage, heart attacks and even strokes. Another drug that has been linked to lawsuits is for the drug Accutane. Accutane Lawsuit have been filed and some settlements have been issued. Accutane is a drug used to treat cystic acne and has been linked to Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Crohn's Disease. There are so many other examples of drugs that have been meant to help to only find out later they cause more damage than good.
