Medication/Prescription Errors
Could your prescription medications kill you? Unfortunately, doctors and pharmacists commit medical malpractice when they prescribe or distribute inappropriate medication, causing severe reactions or death.
There are many ways in which a doctor or pharmacist can make mistakes with a patient's prescription, including:
- Failing to notify a patient of possible side-effects
- Prescribing medication that is harmful when taken with or contraindicated because of the patient's other medications
- Prescribing an inappropriate dosage of medication
- Prescribing the wrong medication
- Failing to follow up with and monitor a patient's condition while taking certain medication
- Dispensing (giving out) the wrong medicine
- Supplying the incorrect dosage of medicine to a patient
