Pharmaceutical Drug Injuries
The side effects of some pharmaceutical drugs can be severe and even fatal in some cases: certain medications used to alleviate symptoms of depression can cause fatal birth defects in unborn children; antibiotics used to treat relatively harmless infections have caused kidney shutdown in the sick and elderly; an osteoporosis drug that causes the jawbone in some users to die and become exposed in the mouth.
