Wrong Medication and Pharmacist Error (Part B)

Proving that a pharmacy error occurred and making a case for medical negligence can be a difficult task without an Aurora prescription error lawyer.

Building a Pharmacist Error Medical Malpractice Claim

You may need to gather your hospital discharge instructions, original prescription, received prescription, and other essential documentation such as your medical history in order to prove that a pharmacist error in Aurora occurred and that you were injured as a result.

Your Aurora prescription error lawyer should also be highly knowledgeable on the most commonly confused drug names. Currently, Pharmacopeia lists 1,500 drugs which have names similar to one or more other drugs and are often wrongfully filled.

The pharmaceutical industry is constantly developing new drugs to meet market needs and maximize profits, and this is part of the problem in hastily naming a new drug with nearly the same spelling as an existing one.

When you take the wrong medication because of a pharmacist error in Aurora, you should immediately see your doctor to redirect your treatment with the correct medicine if possible.

Your Aurora prescription error lawyer will talk with your doctor to determine what effect the wrong medication had on you, and on your original prognosis

.

Pharmacy/Pharmacist Error in Aurora

In cases where a pharmacist error occurs as the result of wrongful preparation of the drug, serious injury and consequences to your health are often the outcome.

Wrongful preparation occurs when the drug manufacturer ships the drug in a highly concentrated form, and the pharmacist must dilute the drug according to exact specifications.

If the drug is not properly diluted, and is then dispensed, you may overdose and suffer severe and painful injury

.

Wrongful preparation also occurs because the pharmacist is responsible for typing up your prescription instructions and labels. These include printing out the correct and most current warning labels for your medication.

Sometimes, a pharmacist might move a decimal place, or misread the prescription strength as written by your doctor.

This can lead to either overdose, or under-dose of your medication. If the patient takes too little of a prescribed drug to treat an aggressive or advanced condition, the consequences can be enormous, and may even lead to death.
