What Prescription Drug Errors Can Look Like
Doctors and pharmacists need to pay careful attention when prescribing or distributing powerful drugs, but some do not do their job with the appropriate level of care. Examples of dangerous and preventable medication errors include:
- Writing the wrong drug name on the prescription, or misreading the name
- Failing to instruct you on the dosage size and how often to take the drug
- Prescribing too large or too small a dosage, or filling the prescription with an inappropriate dosage
- Failing to take the drug’s possible interaction with your other prescriptions into account
Our capable and compassionate medical malpractice lawyers will work tenaciously to make sure that the individual and the hospital, clinic, or pharmacy where they work are financially responsible. We will handle every aspect of your claim and fight for complete compensation for the harm the medication error caused you.
