Everyone who has ever taken a prescription drug knows there is a considerable amount of fine print on the drug’s label and in the included packaging inserts. The significant risks are often downplayed or described in highly technical terms most readers don’t understand.

Time and time again, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has to request stricter warning labels or recall a drug from the market altogether after it has harmed hundreds or even thousands of people, many of whom were totally unaware of the drug’s serious and potentially life-threatening side effects.
Prescription Use in Texas
People across Texas use pharmaceutical drugs to treat conditions ranging from heartburn to neurological disorders. Depression, hyperactivity, severe pain, and even nicotine addiction all have prescription drug treatments that are marketed to consumers as safe and effective in most cases.
However, industry practices and profit-driven drug marketing can result in harm—and even death—to the very people these drugs were intended to help.

Chantix®
The anti-smoking drug Chantix® has been linked to depression, suicidal thoughts, and violent behavior in some users, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (1). Government scientists are currently investigating the matter after reports of mood disorders and erratic behavior in some users came to their attention earlier this year.
Fosamax®
Fosamax® (alendronate), a drug that has been on the market for almost 10 years, has been linked to osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) (1). Otherwise known as “dead jaw,” osteonecrosis is a severe condition in which the jaw dies and is unable to regenerate, eventually leading to extreme pain and exposed bone in the mouth.
MRI Dye (NSF)
A dye used in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and MRA (magnetic resonance angiography) scans has been linked to a rare and potentially fatal skin disease in some users (1).
Pain Patch Recall
Painkiller patches containing the highly potent drug fentanyl have been recalled because of a manufacturing defect that could result in fatal overdoses for some users (1).
Reglan®
Reglan is a drug prescribed to treat a variety of symptoms, including heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite in some patients. Reglan's chemical name is metoclopramide. Reglan use has been linked to the development of a severe neurological disorder known as tardive dyskinesia (tahr-div dis-ki-nee-zhuh).
Yaz®
Yaz® differs from other birth control methods because it contains a progestin hormone called drospirenone, which can increase potassium levels in the bloodstream.
