Pharmacy Malpractice And Negligence Prescription Misfills
Pharmacy malpractice covers errors or harm caused to a person due to negligence by the pharmacy. It’s a form of medical malpractice and typically involves dispensing or dosage mistakes or negligence on the part of a pharmacist for failing to identify possible problems or drug interactions in a patient.
If a pharmacist fails to provide reasonable care when filling medications or verifying that the individual should be taking that particular drug or that dosage, then the person may suffer physical or psychological harm – or both. Their medical condition may be left untreated or exacerbated, or they may suffer serious harm due to a harmful drug interaction.
The negligence of a pharmacist in misfiling a prescription can reduce your ability to heal, limit your life expectancy, diminish your ability to work or enjoy your favorite activities, and cause other physical or mental harm.
Types Of Pharmacy Mistakes
Our attorneys represent clients harmed due to negligence on the part of a pharmacist or pharmacy staff. Medication malpractice takes several forms, including:
