Over the past decade, Actavis (officially known as Actavis Totowa LLC) has become one of the top five producers of generic medications worldwide. Manufacturing over 650 different medicines, Actavis generates over $2 billion in revenues each year.

Among the various types of medication produced by Actavis are:

• capsules and tablets
• creams, patches and ointments
• liquid medication
• suppositories

Currently, Actavis has operations in 40 countries. While the company's international headquarters are located in Iceland, its U.S. operations are based in New Jersey.

Actavis Product Recalls

Since Actavis was started in 1956, this pharmaceutical manufacturer's products have provided relief for millions of people worldwide.

However, many have also been injured after taking (or using) Actavis medication, as some of these drugs have been found to cause serious side effects. To date, over 60 Actavis products have been recalled by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Actavis product recalls have been issued for:

• Amantadine (for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and/or influenza)
• Amitex (a decongestant medication)
• Buspirone HCL (for anxiety disorder)
• Carisoprodol (a muscle relaxant)
• Dipyridamole (an anti-coagulant medication)
• Guanfacine (for hypertension)
• Hyoscyamine Sulfate (for gastrointestinal disorders)
• Loxapine (for schizophrenia)
• Meloxicam (for arthritis and osteoporosis)
• Naltrexone (for alcohol addiction)
• Oxycodone (a pain reliever)
• Quinaretic (for high blood pressure)
• Rifampin (for tuberculosis)
• Trimethobenzamide (for nausea and vomiting)
• Ursodiol (for gallstones)
• Vitaplex (a multivitamin)

Severe injuries sustained after taking Actavis products that have been recalled range from arrhythmia and stroke to severe allergic reaction and wrongful death.

Defective Drug Lawsuits

Although a number of Actavis products have been recalled, it's likely that:

• More Actavis products will be recalled in the future, as new generic medications are found to cause serious side effects
• More patients will sustain severe injuries (or wrongful death) as a result of taking potentially toxic medications

Patients who have been injured after taking Actavis products (and families of patients who have died after taking Actavis products) will:

• Likely have a viable legal claim against Actavis Totowa LLC
• Be entitled to a settlement for their injuries and losses

Prospective plaintiffs can learn more about their legal rights and find out if they have a defective drug claim by meeting with an experienced personal injury attorney for a free initial consultation.
