Errors In Prescriptions Claims
Millions of medication errors happen in the NHS each year, according to research. These errors can be in dispensing or prescribing medication. Taking the wrong medication or following incorrect instructions can lead to serious health problems, even death. If you’ve been harmed by a prescription error, you may be eligible for compensation.
Here are some examples of prescription errors that could lead to a claim
Dispensing error
- Mixing up medications. This can happen during dispensing, where the wrong medication ends up in the wrong bag or container.
- Mislabeled prescriptions. Mistakes can occur when labelling medications, making it unclear what the medication is or how to take it. This can lead to taking the wrong drug or dosage altogether.
- Dosage discrepancies. Sometimes, the dispensed medication might not match the prescribed dosage. This could mean receiving an ineffective dose or, on a contrary, a dangerously high one.
Prescribing error
- Triggering allergies. Prescribing a medication you’re allergic to can lead to a severe and potentially life-threatening reaction.
- Dosage miscalculations. Giving the wrong dosage of a medication can render it ineffective or cause harm. Too little might not treat the condition, while too much can lead to side effects or even overdose.
- Dangerous drug interactions. Prescribing medications that have negative interactions with each other can cause serious health problems.
- Re-prescribing medication. Repeatedly prescribing medication without monitoring its effectiveness and necessity can be potentially harmful and may cause complications.
Of course, this list doesn’t cover everything that could lead to a claim.
