According to the Consumer Protection Act, you the buyer have recourse, if you have not been adequately informed about the product you have bought. For example, if you take a medication, and you suffer severe injury or death, you or your family can seek damages for any pain, suffering, or medical bills you have incurred because of the medicine. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to let your doctor know of any potential problems with their product. As a result, it is also important that the doctor talk to you about the medication; and the pharmacy should include a medication report and verbally advise you, at the time of purchase.
