Queens Pharmaceutical Error Attorneys
While doctors prescribe medications, pharmacists are responsible for filling prescriptions. Individuals often trust their pharmacists to correctly fill their prescriptions. Unfortunately, pharmacists sometimes make errors that may prove costly. In addition, doctors or pharmaceutical companies may make mistakes that can also harm patients.
Pharmaceutical errors may cause serious injury or even death. If you or someone you love suffered an injury after receiving an incorrectly handled prescription, contact the Queens medical malpractice lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273.
Common Errors
Pharmaceutical errors are more common than most people realize. Among the most common pharmaceutical errors that occur are:
- Drug Side Effects
- Incorrect Labeling
- Incorrect Dosage
- Incorrect Prescription
- Drug Interactions and Complications
It is important to know the side effects of your prescribed drug as well as what the medication actually looks like. Knowing this information may save you from a potentially harmful drug interaction or allergy if you have been given the incorrect medication. While you should be able to rely on your pharmacist to provide this information, it is also important for patients to be informed consumers.
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to catch mistakes. Since pharmaceutical errors are a form of medical malpractice, affected individuals may be entitled to financial compensation for any injuries they suffer. If you or a member of your family has been harmed by a medication error, a Queens pharmaceutical error lawyer may be able to help.
