Prescription Errors
Mis-filled Prescriptions
A mis-filled prescription, or a prescription error, can lead to a person sustaining serious, life-threatening injuries. When consumers go to the pharmacy to have their prescriptions filled, they are under the assumption that they will receive the right medication and the right dosage of medicine. However, every year, numerous people suffer from serious injuries, life-long disabilities, or even wrongful death from receiving mis-filled prescriptions. Often times, mis-filled prescriptions result from a pharmacy or pharmacist:
- filling the prescription with the wrong drug
- providing wrong dosage information to the consumer
Other Pharmacy Mistakes
Pharmacy mistakes can also occur as a result of the pharmacist or pharmacy assistant providing the consumer with the wrong instructions or failing to recognize the consumer is taking medicine that cannot be taken with the prescription the pharmacy is filling.
