Drug Injury Lawyers
Pennsylvania Drug Injury
Aggressive pharmaceutical giants push their drugs on doctors and hospitals with their eyes on profit, not the health and well-being of the patients who will use these drugs. This approach leaves much to be desired in research and testing, often putting drugs on the market with serious and sometimes fatal side effects that have to be recalled after causing devastating drug injuries in trusting patients.
Patients in Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania suffering from diabetes, depression, heart problems, and other serious conditions look forward to taking these medications on the promise that they ease pain, increase mobility, relieve mental stress, and improve their quality of life weeks, months, or years after taking the drugs, only to be faced with damaging side effects. Some drugs can cause primary pulmonary hypertension, hemorrhagic strokes, kidney damage, kidney failure, and even death.
After suffering from a drug injury, victims may have to spend extra time in the care of a physician or hospital, undergo dangerous surgeries, go through rigorous physical therapy, medical treatments, and additional medication regimens, which are costly and time consuming. The emotional, mental, and financial strain of a drug injury not only damages the victim, but can rip apart families as well.

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH)
Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) is a rare, progressive disorder characterized by high blood pressure (hypertension) of the main artery of the lungs (pulmonary artery). The pulmonary artery is a blood vessel carrying oxygen-poor blood from the right ventricle (one of the heart's pumping chambers) to the lungs. In the lungs, the blood picks up oxygen, then flows to the heart's left side, where the left ventricle pumps it to the rest of the body through the aorta. [read more]
