Experts in Pharmaceutical Negligence Claims

Taking the wrong medication, or taking the correct medicine in the wrong dose, can have severe repercussions for a patient’s health. Pharmacists and doctors are usually extremely careful about what they prescribe and dispense, but errors can happen. Pharmaceutical negligence claims are fairly common, with over 200 million cases and hundreds of adverse drug reactions happening a year.

Do you suspect that pharmaceutical negligence causes you or a family member to fall ill or suffer injury? Don’t hesitate: be sure to reach out to The Medical Negligence Experts for help.

What is Pharmaceutical Negligence?

Patients should always check that the medication they receive matches the details of the prescription, in theory. But the reality is that most people implicitly trust pharmacists and doctors to fulfil their duty of care and give them the correct medication. Pharmaceutical negligence error occurs (and pharmacy claims happen) with either one of two things.

• A doctor makes an avoidable error prescribing medication, or;
• The pharmacist makes a mistake when filling the prescription.

So what examples might, in fact, lead to a personal injury negligence case?

• Incorrectly advising a patient on how frequently to take their medicine.
• Prescribing or dispensing medication that counteracts another medication the patient already takes.
• Substituting a prescribed brand for another without checking with the patient or doctor. This can happen if there is a product shortage.
• Dispensing an incorrect medication, or mixing patients’ prescriptions up.
• Computer errors leading to mistakes when dispensing medicine.
• Advising a patient to take the wrong dosage – this can happen when a doctor calculates a suitable dose for a child.
• Allowing a repeat prescription to continue for too long without assessing the patient. Taking some medicines for too long can have damaging side effects when taken for extended periods.

Manufacturing & packaging errors

Pharmaceutical negligence can also refer to mistakes made during the manufacture or packaging of medicine. It may have the incorrect label or subject to storage in conditions causing the deterioration of the product.

Not all pharmaceutical errors are a direct result of pharmaceutical negligence. For example, say a doctor prescribes medication for a patient. However, the patient who fails to disclose they were also taking antibiotics for a tooth infection by their dentist.
