Pharmacy Mistakes
When a doctor writes a prescription, the patient must take the prescription to a pharmacy to get it filled. Most patients trust their pharmacists and have faith that the prescription will be filled correctly. Unfortunately, some pharmacists make serious mistakes and put innocent patients at risk.
When you inadvertently take an incorrect dosage of a medication or a drug that was not prescribed to you, you may suffer severe side effects.

Common Pharmaceutical Mistakes
Prescriptions are supposed to improve health, but taking a medication you do not need could have an adverse effect. This is what makes pharmacy errors such a serious concern. Something as simple as putting the wrong label on a bottle can be the difference between life and death for an individual.
Mislabeling, of course, is not the only error pharmacists make. Some of the more common errors pharmacists make are:
- Incorrectly marking the dosage
- Giving a patient the wrong medication
- Incorrectly labeling a prescription
When a pharmacy error occurs, it could lead to serious injuries or even death. In the event of an injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation. It is important to consult with an experienced pharmacy malpractice attorney to learn more about building your case against a negligent pharmacy or pharmacist.
