Prescription and Medication Errors

Prescription and Medication Errors

April 5, 2023 Leave a Comment

Here is an alarming statistic: each year in the United States, over 7,000 people die because of medication errors. When you are prescribed medication by a healthcare professional and have it filled at a pharmacy, you trust that you are given the correct medication in the correct dosage.
Unfortunately, that is not always the reality. People who are prescribed or given the wrong prescription medications or dosages often experience health consequences which range from mild to catastrophic.

Prescription and Medication Errors

Have you ever taken a medication that has negatively impacted your health and well-being? Doctors can be held liable when they prescribe a medication without researching the side effects or fail to warn a patient about known side effects. Mixing medications can also be dangerous. Both doctors and pharmacists are responsible for ensuring that you are informed of potential side effects and that the medications they prescribe or dispense will not interact dangerously. Both need to warn you of these dangers and the potential interactions that can occur between all of the medications you are taking.

Administering anesthesia incorrectly can also fall under the realm of medical malpractice and medication errors. The wrong dosage of anesthetic medication during a medical procedure can have serious health consequences for a patient.

Were you prescribed the wrong medication, given the wrong dosage of medication by a pharmacy, or have you taken a medication that interacted with your other medications in a harmful way? If so, you may have experienced medical malpractice or negligence as a result of medication errors. If you would like to discuss your rights, call Dolan Connly, P.C. today at (617) 265-3100.
