Pharmacy Errors

We trust pharmacists to fill our prescriptions correctly. However, pharmacy errors are surprisingly common. These errors can occur in hospitals, retail pharmacies, and mail-order pharmacies. When a pharmacist gives you the wrong medication or the wrong dosage, the consequences can be serious.

You may suffer from a severe allergic reaction, an overdose, or a drug interaction. In some cases, the error can be fatal. If you have been injured by a pharmacy error, you need an attorney who understands the complexities of these cases. At Phillips Law, we have the experience and resources to hold negligent pharmacies accountable.

Common pharmacy errors include dispensing the wrong medication, dispensing the wrong dosage, failing to check for drug interactions, and providing incorrect instructions. Pharmacists are under pressure to fill prescriptions quickly, which can lead to mistakes. Don't let their negligence cost you your health.

• Wrong Dosage: Providing the correct medication but at a strength that is too high or too low.
• Wrong Instructions: Labeling the medication with incorrect usage instructions.
• Failure to Check Interactions: Dispensing a drug that interacts dangerously with other medications the patient is taking.
• Allergic Reactions: Dispensing a medication to a patient with a known allergy to that drug.

Consequences of Medication Errors

Taking the wrong medication or the wrong dosage can lead to severe health complications, including organ damage, overdose, and even death. In some cases, the error means the patient's underlying condition goes untreated, allowing it to worsen.
