Pharmaceutical manufacturers are supposed to check for specific problems such as whether or not a drug will cause illness, death, or both. Side effects are a common result of taking prescribed medication. There should be some warning on the label regarding the side effects that can potentially be experienced as a result of taking this medication. When a company does not include sufficient amounts of information on the label, the results can be direly catastrophic. In these situations, severe injury or death can be the result of taking such medication.
Pharmaceutical companies who do not engage in enough testing to ensure the safety and effectiveness of their drugs should be ashamed of themselves. It is because of companies like them that some people have died as a result of taking some form of medication.

How do defective drugs make it onto the market?
The problem is that many of these drug companies are multi million dollar businesses, and many companies will do whatever it takes to ensure that they make more money and that it keeps coming in. In short, they put profits above the people, rather than making sure no harm is done. Because of their positions of power, they have the ability to pressure FDA officials into giving the ok on drugs that never should have been released to the public. Some manufacturers will even go so far as to not disclose key information about a drug on the pharmaceutical's label. This can lead to serious complications.
