Michigan medication injury lawyers representing clients who have suffered injuries from pharmacy errors, pharmacy misfills, and from filling the wrong prescriptions for a patient. There are an estimated 2.5 billion prescriptions dispensed by pharmacies in the U.S. each year. An estimated 3.75 billion drugs were administered in hospitals. Errors in medication and prescriptions are a major source of medical mistakes that can cause injury or death.
Pharmacy prescription and medication errors that can occur in drug store pharmacies or in hospitals include: wrong medication (the patient gets the wrong medication despite the doctor prescribing the correct one); Drug name mix-ups (several medications have similar-sounding names); Wrong medication combinations (there are numerous types of medications that should not be mixed because of life-threatening or fatal side effects or cross-reactions when combined); and Side effects of medication (Almost all medications have some types of side effects. Some are mild, some significant, some can be fatal. Sometimes a drug will be inappropriately prescribed to a patient with a documented allergy).
Illegible handwriting can certainly be a factor in some medication errors, but hospitals that care about providing quality health services seek ways to minimize drug overdoses and medication errors. Medication errors can be avoided with proper training, technology, and standardized medical procedures.
