Medication Errors Are Serious And Life Threatening

Posted on

Imagine that after a visit to the doctor’s office you are given a prescription by your doctor to deal with a relatively minor — but still serious — medical issue. With the right medicine, the proper dosage and your persistence in taking the medicine at the right time, your condition should significantly improve, or be cured all together, in a short time. So you go to the pharmacy to get your prescription and then in the next week, you stay on top of your medication schedule.

After seven days though, you don’t feel any better. In fact, the medication doesn’t make you feel well at all. So you go back to your doctor and show him or her your medication bottle. Your doctor looks horrified. “It’s the wrong medication” your doctor informs you, as your head slumps into your hands.

On a daily basis, this scene plays out far too many times in the United States. Whether it is the fault of your doctor for writing down the wrong prescription or dosage, or the fault of the pharmacy you went to for giving you the wrong medicine, the irresponsible party needs to be held accountable for your worsening medical condition, in addition to the pain and suffering this mistake has caused.

Holding this person accountable requires legal representation, and the Fronzuto Law Group is here to help you in this regard. We will use our extensive experience and knowledge of medical malpractice law to do everything in our power to earn you the compensation you deserve for the incorrect medication you were given.
