Medication & Pharmaceutical Errors
As patients we put our faith in our physicians to provide us with proper medications and drugs. Too often the medical professions fail us. Pharmaceutical errors are frighteningly common and can lead to allergic reactions, severe adverse reactions, organ damage or death. Almost always these pharmaceutical errors could have been avoided.

We believe that your pharmacist, physician and nurses are obligated to prevent pharmaceutical errors and ensure that you receive the proper medication and dosage. If you have been victim to pharmaceutical errors, our experienced attorneys and medical experts will ensure that you obtain justice.
Pharmaceutical errors can occur from prescribing medications, including:
- Physician writing a prescription for the wrong medication or for the wrong dosage;
- Pharmacist incorrectly filling a prescription order;
- Pharmacy incorrectly labeling a prescription;
- Nurse incorrectly administering a medication;
- Nurse or physician failing to chart any drug allergies;
- Failure to take an adequate history of current medications and then prescribing a new medication that is contraindicated.
