Given the fact that every human being has a slightly different physiology, it's not surprising that some people have an adverse reaction to any given drug. Add to that the willingness to sue based on
post hoc, propter ergo hoc reasoning in an extremely litigious society, and the lawsuits need no explanation.
There are risks to taking perscription medication. In general, the risk isn't quite as high as in crossing the street, but it is slightly more than in drinking a glass of water.
It's in the best interests of lawyers and the media to exaggerate these risks.
