Indianapolis False Claims Lawyer

Pharmaceutical companies have only been allowed to advertise medications directly to the public for the past two decades. Even now, the United States Food and Drug Administration places strict controls on precisely what claims pharmaceutical companies are allowed to make regarding their products. This is to prevent the type of “snake oil salesmen” that were common in the 1800s from making fantastic claims about the various healing properties of their products.

If you believe you have been enticed to take a drug by a false claim, you should act quickly to protect your legal rights. Contact the Indianapolis drug contamination attorneys of the Charles D. Hankey Law Office, P.C. at 800-520-3633 to schedule a consultation.

Prescription Drug Claims

All of the claims made by prescription drug manufacturers must be thoroughly researched and have sufficient evidence to back them up. Yet, regardless of these restrictions, drug companies often market drugs for purposes that they have not yet been approved for, either to doctors or patients. This practice is both deceptive and illegal, and you may be entitled to compensation if you have been victimized.

It is difficult to determine whether or not a claim made by a prescription drug company is accurate and sufficiently researched. Often, as a patient, you may not have the necessary information regarding a drug’s acceptable uses. It is important to speak with your doctor about your medications to ensure that you are taking them for their intended purpose.
