Dangerous Drugs and Medications

As consumers and patients of medical doctors we assume the treatment that they prescribe to be exactly what we need and to help us to recover from any ailment that we are experiencing. There are many cases, however, where individuals suffer from severe side effects due to the consumption of prescribed medication. These dangerous drugs can often pose a much larger threat through their side effects than the affliction that the individual was already experiencing.

Two examples of dangerous drugs include:

  • Pioglitazone, brand name Actos
  • Topiramate, brand name Topamax

Actos is a prescription drug that is used to treat type 2 diabetes by making the body more sensitive to insulin. This works for regulating blood sugar levels, however there are numerous side effects that the consumer can experience: headache, muscle pain, sore throat, as well as other very serious side effects like changes in vision or vision loss, cloudy, discolored, or even bloody urine and many others.

Topamax is an anticonvulsant medication that is used to treat certain types of seizures in people that have epilepsy and other medications have failed. This drug is also able to help prevent migraine headaches but is unable to relieve pain once a migraine is present. The various side effects that an individual can experience in taking this medication may include difficulty concentrating, confusion, as well as more serious side effects like vomiting, bloody or cloudy urine as well as a constant need to urinate and many other side effects.

Client Testimonials

We work within our clients time frames, guidelines & unique budgets
    A few years ago I was addicted to drugs. My addiction led me to steal and eventually I caught a few criminal charges. Troy Bowlin took my case. I spent time in jail for a little while as my bond was revoked. Troy immediately started working on getting me released and helping me through the release process. Troy was finally able to get me released to a 45-day rehab facility versus spending more time in jail. The rehab was a wonderful experience on my road to sobriety. Once I left rehab, the court appearances began. Troy was always present and on time. He would even be there early to discuss with me what would probably happen before court began. This was very comforting because when you are facing felony charges, court is very nerve-wracking. Troy was able to get me two years unsupervised probation. Based on the charges I had incurred this was short of a miracle. The two years gave me time to evaluate my life and become clean and sober. After the two years, Troy filed for judicial diversion. Once this was done, I have absolutely no charges on my record today. From where I started to where I ended up is all because of Troy's hard work. I find myself very lucky to have been blessed with this kind of caliber of lawyer. If it wasn't for Troy I would not be starting Nursing School in the fall. My future is bright now and my path is clear. If it was not for Troy I would not be as successful as I am now.
