When Pharmacy Errors With Medication Cause Serious Injury
Medical malpractice attorneys
When medications are prescribed and when pharmacies fill orders, patients are supposed to be informed of the benefits and risks of the drug, told how to take the medicine, and warned of possible side effects and drug interactions.
Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Doctors fail to tell patients all of the risks, or they think that the label is all the education patients need. Pharmacists are busy and don't take the time to talk to patients, or pharmacists think the doctor has already done the job.
Often enough, no one has actually informed the patient of the risks involved in taking a medication. Patients take medicine home, use it for a month, two months or a year, and only later discover they have suffered serious injury. Or, patients learn they have been given the wrong medicine or the wrong dose, or that they took it the wrong way.
