New Jersey Incorrect Prescription Labeling Lawyers

As much as two percent of all prescriptions filled at a pharmacy contain some type of error. Patients frequently receive prescriptions with misleading or incorrect labels. Even a prescription that seems simple and straightforward can be dangerous if patients receive incorrect information about how they should take that prescription. Pharmacies that mislabel their prescriptions may be guilty of medical malpractice.

If you or someone you love has been harmed because of an incorrectly-labeled prescription, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical expenses, losses, and suffering.

Types of Prescription Labeling Error

Prescription labeling errors can cause a number of life-threatening complications. The most common types of prescription labeling error include:

  • Wrong medication
  • Wrong dosage
  • Incorrect instructions
  • Failure to include warnings

Pharmacies are required to notify patients of the potentially-dangerous effects of a drug. For example, medications that can cause drowsiness must carry a warning on the label. If they do not, the odds increase greatly that a patient will be harmed after experiencing drowsiness behind the wheel. Depending on the medication in question, other harmful complications may arise.
