Har medicine ke side-effects hote hain, lekin kuch adverse drug reactions severe ho sakte hain. Pharma companies ki responsibility hai ki wo research, trials, labelling, aur marketing me due care lein.
Liability questions tab uthte hain jab:
- Known serious side-effect ko chhupa liya gaya,
- Warnings vague ya incomplete thi,
- Manufacturing defect se contamination hua,
- Post-marketing surveillance ignore kiya gaya.
Doctor–patient–company triangle me blame assignment complex ho sakta hai. Kabhi prescribing pattern galat hota hai, kabhi dosage misuse, kabhi patient history hide karta hai.
Regulators recalls, black box warnings, ya bans impose kar sakte hain. Civil suits me compensation, class actions, aur sometimes punitive damages possible hote hain.
Patients ke liye practical step: leaflets padhna, unusual symptoms note karna, timely report karna, aur documentation sambhal ke rakhna.
