Pharmacy Negligence

What You Should Know About Pharmacy Errors

A common pharmacy error involves a medication mix-up, which may lead to injury either through the effects of the original condition going untreated or from the unanticipated side effects caused by the incorrect medicine. In some cases, a patient receives the correct medicine, but the wrong dosage is listed on the label, which can lead to disastrous health effects.

Common pharmacy errors include:

Dispensing the wrong dosage of medication
Dispensing the incorrect strength of the medication
Dispensing medication to the wrong person due to a name mix-up
Mixing up prescriptions between customers
