State and federal law place duties on pharmacies to protect consumers not only from errors in the filling of prescription medications, but also in verifying the appropriateness.
Pharmacist Mistakes: When you go to a pharmacy to get a prescription filled you have the right to rely on the pharmacy and the pharmacist to make sure you are getting the drug you need in the correct dosage with the instructions to enable you to take it safely.
State and federal laws require the pharmacy to do a drug utilization review and offer counseling concerning the prescription before the patient receives it. A drug utilization review requires the pharmacy to obtain the patients drug, allergy and medical history to determine if the prescription is appropriate for that person to consume. This allows the pharmacist to determine if the patient is allergic to the prescription drug, is taking another drug that should not combine with the prescription drug or if the patient has a heath condition that would not allow them to take the prescription drug safely.
After the prescription is filled and the dosing label is placed on the bottle the pharmacist has a duty to council or offer to council the patient by questioning them to determine this is in fact their prescription for the appropriate medical condition, in a safe an appropriate dose and what side effects they might expect.
Pharmacy negligence and medication mistakes occur when pharmacists delegate their duties to employees who are not trained or legally allowed to perform these drug utilization reviews or provide adequate counseling. This often occurs in big chain pharmacies who fill millions of prescriptions and don't take the time to perform all their obligations to ensure their patrons are safe. Medication injuries can be minor or very serious.
Since injuries of all kinds and even death can occur, the victims of pharmacy mistakes and medication errors and their families are often faced with long periods of medical treatment, staggering medical bills, lost wages, pain and emotional distress.
Representing the victim seriously injured by pharmacy errors and their families can be a very complex area of legal practice. It demands medical, scientific and legal knowledge.
