Tampa Medication & Prescription Drug Errors

Lawyer for Medication, Pharmacy, Hospital & Doctor Errors in Tampa

Patients place immense trust into their medical care providers, pharmacists, and the pharmaceutical industry. Most of the time that trust is well placed. However, sometimes the medication that is supposed to heal causes harm. Every year, countless people suffer from painful side effects that result from medication errors. And, in some cases, patients have even lost their lives due to these errors.

Medication errors can occur in a variety of ways. A doctor’s illegible handwriting may lead a nurse or a pharmacist to provide the wrong medication or the wrong dose. A doctor may prescribe a medication without taking into account the patient’s entire medical history. An overworked pharmacy assistant may commit pharmacy malpractice by mistakenly giving a person another medication instead of the medication that is listed in his/her prescription. A pharmaceutical company may package different doses of the same medication in similar packaging causing a healthcare provider to give the wrong dose. All of these examples demonstrate how easily a medication error can be made if doctors, hospitals, nurses, pharmacists, and pharmaceutical companies act negligently or do not exercise proper caution.
