Dangers of Oxycontin
A disadvantage though of trying to make a case, in which the client wishes compensation for the dangers that they have been put in, is that drug companies always make sure they place warnings on the drug packets, to ensure the substance is not abused. Some of the side effects of Oxycontin are:
- Nausea
- Constipation
- Lightheadedness
- Rash
- Itchiness or dizziness
- Emotional mood disorders.
Even though these symptoms individually can cause discomfort, together they could prove to be lethal to the client, or client’s relative at hand. It has become more difficult to show these side effects in a claim for compensation as they are clearly stated. If the dose is abused, and these symptoms are present it is more likely the Oxycontin Drug Company will question why it is being over used and the court case would turn around on you. Then the case would be dropped and you would probably end up in rehab as a drug addict. However if it is found that a warning was not given the drug company could be held responsible for causing your discomfort and ultimately for showing no sign of care for consumer needs.
