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.

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.

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?
