Legal Help for Victims of Medication Errors in St. Louis & Nationwide
According to the Division of Medication Error Prevention and Analysis (DMEPA), a medication error is any event that causes or results in the inappropriate use of medication.
Medication errors could result from:
- Order communication
- Product labeling
- Compounding
- Distributing
- Administering
- Educating
- Monitoring
- Prescribing
Medication and prescription errors are serious and can result in not only life-long injuries to the victim, but even death. They can occur at any stage of the process—from selection, prescription, dispensing, or administration.
For example, a doctor or a pharmacist may have:
- Improperly labeled the drug
- Administered the wrong drug to a patient
- Prescribed the wrong drug or dosage
- Miscommunicated with the doctor or pharmacist
- Failed to protect a patient from drug allergies
- Failed to provide a drug consultation
- Failed to know bad interactions with other drugs
