Sacramento Medication Error Lawyer
Mixed-up prescriptions, wrong dosages of medication, drugs of the wrong strength or unmonitored drug interactions are all examples of medication errors. Patients can suffer serious harm because a doctor, a pharmacist, a nurse, an anesthetist or a dentist failed to follow accepted standards of care when prescribing or administering medications.
- A doctor should screen for possible allergies or dangerous interactions with other medications you are taking at the same time, when they prescribe a new drug.
- A pharmacist should have safety and quality control practices in place to prevent the unfortunate possibility of delivering the wrong medication or the wrong dosage to a customer.
- A nurse in a hospital or nursing home should not take narcotic medications intended for a patient's use — a serious offense which, unfortunately, does happen from time to time.
- An anesthetist should stay alert and vigilant while a patient is sedated for surgery.
