When you see an ad on TV for a Topamax law firm that is filing a class action suit against the drug company for serious side effects related to a drug that is on the market, but incredibly dangerous. The first thing many people wonder is how a drug even makes it to the marketplace is it is so dangerous. The answer to that question is because the drug companies want to get their new products to market as quickly as possible. Drug companies are under pressure to get their new drugs out and selling as quickly as possible by their investors. This pressure means fewer long term studies that really take a close look at the effects of a drug if it is used longer than their study length. Getting the drug out and to doctors is their primary concern and when drugs are found to be dangerous than they will retool them then put them out again.
