Not only do they not get a treatment that they do need, very often, a wrong medication can cause new, sometimes even fatal problems.

Compensation for Pharmaceutical Malpractice

A pharmaceutical malpractice law firm in Washington DC can help victims of pharmaceutical malpractice and their families to understand the victim’s rights. The victim may have a personal injury claim that he or she, or the deceased victim’s surviving family members, can seek compensation for.

Doctors and other healthcare practitioners that prescribe the wrong medicines or the wrong dosage of a medicine may be guilty of medical malpractice. Prescription error is a type of medical malpractice that is often the result of a healthcare practitioner’s negligence. Medical malpractice means that a medical professional has not met the medical industry’s acceptable standard of care for his or her patient. While many doctors provide the acceptable standard of care to their patients unfortunately, some do not. When this causes harm and suffering to someone, they and/or their family should be compensated for expenses, hardships, and pain and suffering that are the result of this.

How Can Prescription Errors Occur

When someone’s health is negatively impacted by a prescription error in today’s age of information and technology, it is hard to understand how this could have happened. Common causes of, preventable prescription errors include but are not limited to:

  • Drugs with similar names can be incorrectly dispensed
  • Handwritten prescriptions are illegible
  • Drugs with negative interactions are prescribed at the same time because the physician
    prescribed them without looking at patients already existing drug regime
  • Incorrect drug dose is prescribed or dispensed
  • Prescriptions may not be transmitted to a pharmacy, and a sick or ailing patient may not realize
    that they are not taking all of the medications they are supposed to be taking
