Prescription Drugs - Nidel & Nace, P.L.L.C.

Drug manufacturers make billions of dollars of profit each year despite the fact that prescription drugs are responsible for thousands of injuries each year.

These risks include those that the drug companies should have known about through adequate testing and safety surveillance on patients taking their drugs.
