What to Do When Doctors Prescribe the Wrong Medication

Posted By Gruenberg Kelly Della || 22-Oct-2018

Prescription & Administration of Incorrect Medications

Every year, doctors prescribe and administer the wrong medications to more than 1 million Americans. This is often due to misdiagnosis, in which case a doctor may treat a patient for a condition they don’t actually have. It can also occur when doctors, nurses, or other hospital staff are disorganized, communicate inadequately, or otherwise negligently fail to ensure the medication being administered is correct.

However, be advised that patients can also receive the wrong medications due to errors by pharmacists and drug manufacturers. This is often the case when patients receive dosage instructions from their pharmacist which are different from that of their doctor or if there has been a packaging, production, or distribution error by the manufacturer.

How to Respond When You Suffer Due to Receiving the Wrong Medication

If you have suffered as a result of a medication error, the best thing to do is get in touch with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer as soon as possible. Proving medical malpractice (or negligence by a manufacturer) can be challenging and always requires thorough investigation by a legal professional.

After contacting a legal representative, be sure to do the following:

  • Obtain all medical records and bills regarding the damages you have suffered due to the medication error in question.
  • Keep an ongoing log of all the resulting personal and medical complications.
  • Document the ways that the medication error in question has diminished your quality of life, ability to work, ability to engage in enriching activities, etc.
