Baltimore Drug Contamination Attorneys

We rely on drugs to help with everything from headaches to cancer. While medications can help people overcome health problems or manage incurable illnesses, they can actually cause more harm than good if they are unsafe. One of the most frequent reasons for unsafe drugs and subsequent recalls is contamination.

Drug contamination can alter the potency of a medication, cause allergic reactions, and lead to other serious consequences. If you have suffered from adverse health problems due to contaminated drugs, you may be entitled to financial compensation to help you with your treatment and recovery. To discuss your case, contact a knowledgeable, determined Baltimore drug contamination lawyer from Belsky, Weinberg & Horowitz, LLC, at 800-890-2388 today.

Types of Unsafe Contaminants

Medications include a complex mixture of chemicals and stabilizers which are carefully crafted to address specific health issues. If any contaminants are accidentally added to a batch of medication, they can disrupt the balance of the chemicals and possibly poison the patient. These contaminants can taint the drugs during the manufacturing process or even later due to faulty packaging. Recent types of unsafe drug contaminants include:

Allergens such as wheat, egg, milk, nuts, and other substances
Metal fragments
Rubber or latex particles
Toxic syrups like diethylene glycol substituted for glycerin

Besides dangerous foreign particles, allergens, and toxic counterfeited medicinal products, drugs may also be housed in unsterile packaging, exposing patients to contaminants such as germs.
