After a patient receives a prescription from a doctor, he/she will take the prescription to their pharmacy to have it filled with the expectation of receiving the medication listed on the prescription. Sadly though, many people leave their pharmacies with the wrong drug in hand. All too often, people receive the wrong prescriptions from their doctors. This usually occurs when the doctor does not write the prescription clearly or when pharmacies or pharmacists do not exercise enough caution when filling a prescription. When this happens, the only person that suffers is the one taking the medication. And, when a person takes the wrong drug the end result could be lethal.
Prescription errors on part of a doctor or pharmacy, such as receiving the wrong drug, can have catastrophic effects. People who consume the wrong drug are at great risk for serious internal injuries, permanent side effects, and even wrongful death. For this reason, doctors, pharmacies and pharmacists should always exercise great care when writing or filling prescriptions and administering a drug to a consumer. Along the same lines, patients need to be particularly cautious when having their prescriptions filled and taking the medications prescribed to them. Even the smallest doctor medication mistake or hospital medication mistake could quickly lead to severe harm.
