Are online pharmacies safe?

by Administrator 2. November 2009 07:09

Are online pharmacies safe? It depends. 

Some websites sell drugs to patients without prescriptions. In many cases, these drugs are not FDA approved and may be dangerous to person who takes them. 

Other websites will ask people to fill out questionnaires, and based on their answers, prescribe or recommend a drug for them. More often than not, these websites will also sell the drugs directly to the patient. 

These two types of websites could be dangerous to people seeking medication. Because the drugs offered on these websites have not undergone proper testing, they may not deliver the desired benefits and may cause serious side effects. 

However, some websites may offer a safe drug option. These websites allow patients to enter their prescription and select a method for delivery or pickup. In many cases, these websites are linked to a legitimate pharmacy or have received government approval to dispense prescription drugs.

SD Cap on Recovering Damages Challenged

by Administrator 25. August 2008 07:08
South Dakota - The state's cap on non-economic damages is being challenged in a law suit this month.  South Dakota limits how much a plaintiff can recover for non-economic damages like pain and suffering in a personal injury suit to $500,000. The Martin family of Pine Ridge claims their baby daughter suffered severe brain damage last year because of a local hospital's negligence and that the damages they have suffered amount to more than $500,000.  The family is looking to challenge the constitutionality of the case by taking it to the State Supreme Court. The cap came about in the 1970's when the insurance company who back South Dakota's doctors threatened to leave the state.  It has led to victims of negligence and malpractice to be turned away by attorneys because the cases are too expensive to argue and too difficult to win. If you have been the victim of medical malpractice, contact the Appleton personal injury lawyers of Habush, Habush, & Rottier S.C. at 800.472.9334 to discuss your case and further legal options.

by Administrator 13. June 2008 04:06

A former nuclear pharmacist man has been awarded $10 million in damages after suffering severe pain following a hospital procedure. Larry Schultz, the injured man, was awarded $5 million alone for his pain and suffering. in 1988, Schultz was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and has been receiving treatments for it ever since. In 2006, he went to St. Luke’s Medical Center to have a drug injected into his spine to relieve spasticity caused by the disease. Both Baclofen and Reno-60 were injected. Court documents later revealed that Reno-60 is not meant to be used as an intrathecal injection. This means that it is not meant to be injected into the spine. The negligence on the part of the medical staff lead to serious injuries for Schultz, causing severe spasticity, seizures, and neurological damage. Shultz was forced to use a wheelchair as a result of the painful injuries.
