An Adderall lawsuit can help you seek compensation if this commonly prescribed Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) drug has injured you or a loved one. Recent findings released by the Food and Drug Administration demonstrate a possible link between Adderall and the deaths of 51 individuals taking the medication. The FDA has cautioned that although no definitive evidence has been found associating Adderall to sudden death, doctors should be wary of adverse side effects such as high blood pressure, heart attack or cardiovascular complications displayed in their patients.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Adderall is most commonly prescribed to youth and adolescents who suffer from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD is characterized by restlessness, the inability to focus, difficulty sitting still and trouble controlling impulses. An Adderall lawsuit may be filed by anyone who has suffered serious injury as a result of this medication. An estimated two million adults and children have taken Adderall since its approval in the 1990s.
Serious Side Effects
Tragically, Adderall may pose greater threats of serious side effects than was previously believed. In Canada, 20 reported possible Adderall related sudden deaths prompted Canadian health officials to remove the medication from the shelf for a period of six months in 2005. Adderall was made available again when health regulators were unable to prove that the medication was any riskier than other available medications. Now evidence shows 24 cases of death in patients taking Adderall between 1999 and 2003, in addition to fatalities among patients taking other like drugs. These findings and may others may be used as evidence in an Adderall lawsuit.
Your Legal Rights
With the many serious potential side effects and the tragic occurrence of Adderall related injury and sudden death, an Adderall lawsuit may be necessary to compensate you for your losses. The medication gained controversy prior to knowledge of these substantial health risks due to beliefs that doctors were over diagnosing and over prescribing. It is vital to familiarize yourself with the risks, side effects and options of Adderall or any medication for yourself or your child before taking it. If you are considering an Adderall lawsuit because of adverse Adderall side effects, be sure to talk to your doctor about your health concerns as well.
