What is a Prescription Error?
When you visit your local pharmacy, you automatically assume the pharmacists and staff are capable and competent. A prescription error that can result in an overdose, an allergic reaction or accidental death is the furthest thing from your mind. Many of us never think to question or double check what were given. We take our pills, which may in fact be the wrong drug, trusting everything will be alright. Sadly, this level of trust may be a grave mistake.
Prescription errors fall into two primary categories. Either a consumer is given the wrong medication or they are instructed to take an incorrect dose. In rare circumstances, a pharmacist may fail to notice a known drug allergy or harmful interaction between medications.
