Prescription Errors

Wrong Drug

After a patient receives a prescription, he/she will take the prescription to his/her pharmacy to have the prescription filled with the expectation of receiving the medication that is listed on the prescription.  Sadly though, many people leave their pharmacies with the wrong drug in hand.  All too often, people receive the wrong prescription.  This often occurs when the doctor does not write the prescription clearly or when pharmacies or pharmacists do not exercise enough caution when filling a prescription.  When this happens, the only person that suffers is the person taking the medication.  And, when a person takes the wrong drug, the end result can be lethal.

Prescription errors, such as receiving the wrong drug, can have catastrophic effects.  People who consume the wrong drug are at great risk for serious internal injuries, permanent, adverse side effects, and even wrongful death.  For this reason, doctors, pharmacies and pharmacists should always exercise great care when writing or filling prescriptions and administering a drug to a consumer.
