Prescription side effects

Virtually every advertisement for a pharmaceutical drug will inform you, in a hurried fashion, of its side effects. If these side effects aren’t disclosed—or if there is an error in the prescription process—you may have a medical malpractice claim.

Doctors and healthcare providers have a legal obligation to patients when they prescribe medications. They need to assess the side effects of the current medicines:

In addition, if a prescribed medication is administered through an injection in a doctor’s office or hospital, the healthcare providers must administer the correct medication and dosage with a medically accepted protocol. Lastly, when pharmacists give out prescribed drugs, they must always accurately read the doctor’s prescription and fill it with the correct medication and dosage.

Medical malpractice and prescription drugs

To prove that a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist failed to comply with their legal duties in supplying or administering prescription drugs, you’ll need to review a few critical elements:

Were you taking the medication exactly as they were prescribed to you?
If there was a failure-to-warn error, can you show that your doctor or label did not properly advise you of the side effects you are experiencing?
If there was a dispensing error, was the medication dispensed differently than what was prescribed by your doctor? This could be due to the type of medication or its dosage.
If a prescription drug was wrongfully administered, was the wrong medication injected or administered improperly?
Can you provide testimony to prove a link between the medication error and the resulting harm?
Can you show that you or your loved one has suffered damages that need compensation?

Steps to take if you suspect prescription dosage errors

First, stop taking the medication if you suffer from a severe side effect.
Second, talk to your doctor if you feel that what you’ve experienced is beyond expected, anticipated side effects. It is good to document everything you are observing, including what your doctor tells you and any side effects. Store the medication and do not dispose of the medicine, container, or warning labels.
