Lobbying efforts by the powerful drug companies and the FDA\u2019s failure in recent years to police the pharmaceutical industry has resulted in more than a few <a href=\"http:\/\/www.georgiainjurylawyers.net\/Dangerous-Drugs.cfm\">dangerous drugs<\/a> coming on the market.  We read last week that a Philadelphia jury recently awarded $75 million in punitive damages to an Illinois woman who developed cancer after taking one of Pfizer\u2019s menopause drugs.  The jury awarded $3.7 million awarded in actual damages.  More than 6 million women have taken Prempro, a hormone replacement drug, used to treat symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats and mood swings during menopause.  A study in 2002 by the Women\u2019s Health Initiative suggested women who used hormone replacement drugs are at higher risk for developing breast cancer.  According to news reports, the Illinois woman took Prempro for 5 years before she developed breast cancer in 2002.  So far,  Pfizer\u2019s Wyeth unit has lost 5 of the 8 cases tried with 33 more scheduled for trial.<br \/>\nAs we have all seen, prescription drugs can have serious side effects. Other drugs which are thought to cause health problems include birth control drugs, Yaz and Yasmin which were manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
