harmacy Error and Malpractice Cases Need Experienced Lawyers
There are a lot of medicines out there, and they are very effective when used properly. They can be deadly when they are given in the wrong amount, or to the wrong patient. Unfortunately, both in hospitals and in drug stores around the country, people are given the wrong medications, often with tragic results.
Sometimes this happens because of inattention or pure sloppiness of hospital staff or physicians. Other times, it happens because a doctor doesn't write a prescription clearly or a pharmacist reads it wrong.
Just a few examples of drugs which get confused are:
- Erzone (nefazodone) for depression and Seroquel (quetiapine) for schizophrenia
- Lamictal (lamotrigine) for epilepsy, Lamisil (terbinafine) for nail infections
- Ludiomil (maprotiline) for depression, and Lomotil (diphenoxylate) for diarrhea
- Taxotere (docetaxel) and Taxol (pa axel), both for chemotherapy
- Zantac (ranitidine) for heartburn, Zyrtec (cetirizine) for allergies, and Zyprexa (olanzapine) for mental conditions
- Celebrex (celecoxib) for arthritis and Celexa (citalopram) for depression
