Coral Springs Pharmaceutical Errors Attorney
If you are sick or in pain, you will likely turn to your medical doctor for help. In many cases, he or she will then prescribe a medication to help you heal, and you must then go to a pharmacist to get the drug. Pharmacies process thousands of medication orders per week, and any mistake with these potent chemicals can lead to permanent health problems or even loss of life.
A recent study by the Institute of Medicine found that medication errors affect 1.5 million people each year. This is frightening and simply unacceptable. If you or someone you love has suffered from a medication mistake, you should fight back in order to discourage such negligence from occurring in the future.

Types of Medication Mistakes
In a pharmacy, many hundreds of medications are all squeezed into a small space right next to each other. This can put a powerful anti-coagulant drug right next to a simple allergy medication. In some cases, switching these two can have life-threatening complications.
Other types of pharmaceutical errors include:
- Incorrect labeling
- Incorrect dosage
- Incorrect prescription
- Drug interactions and complications
While it is important to check your medication refills to make sure they match your old pills, you may not be able to detect mistakes with newer drugs. When you take a drug, you trust that the pharmacist correctly dispensed your medication. Sadly, though, this is not always the case.
