Taking Action for People Given the Wrong Medication, Dosage or Instructions
Disturbing information about the prevalence of pharmacy errors and the potential for life-changing, even fatal, outcomes has emerged in recent years. One major television network's investigation of large pharmacy chains put the percentage of incorrectly filled prescriptions above 20 percent. Pharmacy mistakes that can have devastating consequences include:
- Confusing two different medications or otherwise dispensing the wrong drug
- Mislabeling a prescription vial or bottle with the wrong dosage, patient directions or warnings
- Dispensing multiple medications to the same person despite known, dangerous interactions between them
Many instances of wrongful death and life-changing injuries have been attributed to prescription dispensing errors and other types of negligence involving the delivery of pharmaceutical drugs. Malpractice claims and lawsuits may be justified to pursue compensation for physical or neurological problems, development of psychological disorders or the worsening of an existing condition.
