Pharmacist Malpractice
When we as consumers take our doctor’s prescription to our local pharmacy, we
depend on our pharmacies and pharmacists to provide us with the correct medicine, correct dosage,
warnings about drug interactions, side effects.
Nowadays, pharmacy errors, which are a form of pharmacist malpractice, are common,
and often result in permanent, catastrophic personal injuries or even death. Recent news reports
confirm this national problem.

Misfilled Prescription and Drug Interaction Injury
How do pharmacy errors occur? Pharmacies, pharmacists, and pharmacy technicians
breach their obligation to the patient-consumer:
-
Misfilled prescription
-
Dispensing wrong medication
-
Dispensing wrong dosage
-
Drug allergies
-
Side effects
-
Adverse drug interactions
-
Failing to know the consumer’s other current medications
-
Improper compounding of drugs
-
Failing to double-check with prescribing physician where uncertainty exists
-
Lack of warnings or failure to warn
-
Lack of training
-
Lack of supervision
-
Failing to consult with the patient
While we live in an age of automation and computers, and automation processes
prescriptions more accurately and at faster speeds today, the pharmacist and technician do not
focus on answering questions and providing patient care.
Pharmacy Negligence and Pharmacy Liability
Overwhelming, catastrophic personal injury cases involving pharmacy errors can be complex. In
order to obtain justice for the victims, their families, and punish those who are responsible for
such devastating injuries, the victim needs to consult a personal injury attorney. The medical
issues are often very complex. Who is at fault and may be held accountable for pharmacy error
injury?
- Pharmacist
- Pharmacy supervisor
- Associate pharmacist
- Pharmacy technician
- Pharmacy retail
- Pharmacy chain
