Prescription Drug Allergies
After months of suffering an ailment, you finally get to the doctor, who writes you a prescription that will keep your suffering under control. But before you accept a new prescription, there are some questions you should ask your doctor, specifically about how it will affect you and how it may interfere with any other drugs you are taking.
Drug allergies are a common problem that can be quite harmful to your health if you don’t address them with your doctor. If you or someone you love was injured after suffering a drug injury, contact the Queens personal injury lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273.
Common Complications
Drug allergies may manifest themselves in several different ways. Usually you can tell if you have a drug allergy if you experience any of the following:
- Heart arrhythmia or chest pains
- Skin irritations or rashes
- Shortness of breath
- Weakness and fatigue
Any of these symptoms may be the sign of a more serious condition, so you should consult your physician immediately if you begin presenting these symptoms.
Unfortunately, not all drug allergies may present symptoms, and you may be unknowingly poisoning yourself until something terrible happens. Your prescribing physician or the pharmaceutical company that manufactured a particular drug may be responsible for your dangerous complications and reactions. If one or the other is responsible for your injuries, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
