你能否對藥物造成副作用起訴？
 

Can you sue for drug side effects? The answer is “maybe.” Whether you can sue depends upon all the facts of your case. Many over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs have side effects. Sometimes these side effects are very minor and don’t cause injury. But when drug side effects cause serious or long-term harm, you may have a possible lawsuit. Just some of the deadly side effects from prescription drugs are blood clots, cancer, seizures, stroke, organ damage, heart attack, and Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), which is a potentially life-threatening reaction to medication that affects the skin and mucous membranes.
你能否對藥物造成之副作用起訴？答案係“可能”。然而，能否起訴取決於你案件之事實。許多無處方與處方藥都有副作用。有時這些副作用的影響輕微，亦不會對身體有害。但當副作用造成嚴重或長期的損害，你即有可能透過訴訟來平息止爭。正如一些處方藥造成如血栓、癌症、中風、癲癇及心臟病等致命性的副作用。這些都是對藥物產生足以威脅到生命的反應，其影響皮膚乃至黏膜。

Federal statistics highlight just how dangerous medications can be. According to a study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, every year approximately 4.5 million people in the U.S. go to emergency rooms or visit their doctors because of drug side effects.
聯邦統計之數據凸顯出藥物之危險性。根據Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality之研究報告，全美每日將近有4百50萬人因藥物副作用前往急診室或門診就醫。
