Prescription Error Lawsuit and Prevention Information
Prescription errors are most likely to happen when a patient is:
- Starting a new medication
- Changing from one medication to another or adding a medication to his or her medication regimen
- Adjusting the dosage of a medication
At these times, it’s especially important to check that the medication you receive from the pharmacy is the SAME medication your doctor prescribed. Pharmacists can make mistakes. It is also important to read the description of the pills, typically located on the label of the medication container. It will describe the size, color and shape of the pill and also indicate what, if any, numbering or lettering is on the pill. Match this description with what is inside the bottle. If they don’t match, do not take the medication and bring it back to the pharmacy to correct the mistake.
Medication errors can result in serious injury and even death. The lawyers at Pritzker Olsen attorneys have recently settled a medication error wrongful death case in which the victim ingested medication that was ten times stronger than it should have been. A skilled prescription error lawyer can help victims recover money to pay for medical expenses, funeral expenses, and other damages.
