Prescription Errors

Prescription drugs are often used by individuals suffering from injury or illness and when used correctly, they can greatly reduce recovery time and make patients more comfortable during rehabilitation. Unfortunately, prescription errors can cause further pain and illness and may even result in the death of the patient.

Medical professionals should make sure to properly diagnose each patient and should take into account any known allergies and potential complications. Failure to do so may result in serious complications that can endanger the health and well-being of the patient. If you or someone you love has suffered injury caused by a prescription error, contact the New Jersey prescription error attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. at 800-346-5529.

Common Types of Prescription Errors

Some common prescription errors include:

  • Failure to take into account known patient allergies
  • Incorrect dosage amounts
  • Wrong dosage instructions
  • Dispensing wrong medication
  • Labeling errors

If a patient suffers injury or further illness due to a prescription error made by a doctor or pharmacist, he or she may be eligible for compensation for pain, suffering, medical expenses related to treatment, and other damages.
