Medication Errors

Advancement in pharmaceuticals has resulted in tens of thousands of prescription
and non-prescription medications. A number of these medications are commonly
prescribed. However not all medications are appropriate for all individuals.
Some may be contraindicated for use in treatment of particular conditions or
particular patients.

Most medication errors are preventable. Unfortunately not all medication errors are recognized in time. The difference between prescribing a patient Heparin (a blood thinner) as opposed to Hespan (a blood volume expander) can have catastrophic consequences.

Drug Interactions
Even where no error is made in the dispensing of a medication, otherwise reasonable and valid medications have been demonstrated to interact with other medications as well as herbal supplements. Individuals with chronic medical conditions may take a staggering number of medications daily.

Drug reactions are not always readily identifiable and could take time to diagnose. That time could be the difference between treatment and tragedy. The Lewis Law Firm, PC, can help determine if there was a harmful drug interaction in your case.
