Increase in errors by Pharmacists?

Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors have noticed an increase in cases arising as a result of mistakes by Pharmacists. These errors often result in patients being prescribed either the wrong medication or the wrong dose of medication. This can for example be for treatment related to heart problems, diabetes, anxiety or blood thinning.

Thankfully prescription errors are normally identified within a short period of time and the consequences are minimal. Unfortunately in some cases the consequences of taking the wrong medication can be very serious and even fatal. This is particularly the case if the mistake is not identified quickly.

Clients often instruct us worried about the potential impact and reported side effects of the medication they have been incorrectly taking. Whilst this is very important to investigate often the most crucial issue is the potential effect of having inadvertently failed to take the medication they were actually prescribed by their GP or hospital. The impact is therefore 2 fold. The effect of the wrong medication and the effect associated with failing to take the correct medication.

Here at Gregory Abrams Davidson Solicitors we have a specialist team who have many years of experience investigating the consequences of prescription errors for clients. We liaise directly with the Pharmacists insurers and seek compensation for clients for any injuries and any financial losses associated with the prescription error.
