Prescription Errors

San Francisco Personal Injury Attorney

Prescription error is a term related to certain dangerous occurrences such as a patient being given the improper dose of medication, not given the medication at the correct time, or given the wrong medication altogether.  It can also include not taking into account the patient's body size, disregarding information on the patient's allergies, other medications taken by the patient involved or other possible complications.  Unfortunately, prescription errors occur quite frequently in the United States.  It is one of the most common grounds for medical malpractice.  When a medical practitioner is negligent in prescribing a patient's medication the result can be illness, injury or even wrongful death.  If you believe you have suffered from prescription error, contact a San Francisco personal injury attorney so that your case can be reviewed immediately.
