How We Support You
Holding Pharmacies Accountable for Prescription Errors
Common pharmacy errors include:
- Inputting incorrect prescription information, including the drug name or dosage
- Failing to check for potential drug interactions with other medications
- Dispensing the wrong medication
- Dispensing the wrong dose
If you suspect a pharmacy or pharmacist error, it’s important to contact your doctor or the pharmacy immediately. Documenting the prescription label and contents—by keeping the bottle or taking photographs—can be helpful if legal action becomes necessary.
We help patients and families understand their rights and pursue accountability when medication errors cause harm.
