Pharmacy Errors are a Serious Problem
When you receive medication, you typically trust that the pharmacist has handed you the medication you expect it to be. While, in most cases, the prescription matches the pills that you receive, in some cases, the pharmacist makes an error that may be harmful or even fatal. Examples of such errors include giving you the wrong prescription, filling the wrong dosage, affixing the wrong label or dosage instructions and substituting an improper generic medication for a brand-name medication.
How to Avoid Becoming a Victim of Pharmacy Errors
To avoid becoming a victim of pharmaceutical errors, make sure to check your
medication while you are still at the pharmacy, to ensure that the medication
looks correct. Check the bottle to make sure the label states the medication
you are supposed to be taking. If you are unsure of what a medication looks
like, check the Internet to ensure that the pills look the same as what the
doctor prescribed. If you have any questions or are concerned about the medication
that you receive, do not hesitate to ask the pharmacist. In addition, if you
have any side effects because of taking medication, contact your physician to
ensure that these effects are typical for the drug that you are taking.
