The Growing Problem of Pharmacy Malpractice
In 2019 alone, an estimated 4.38 billion retail prescriptions were filled in the United States. Unfortunately, medication errors claim the lives of 7,000 to 9,000 people each year, with hundreds of thousands more experiencing adverse reactions or complications. The cost of treating these medication-associated errors exceeds $40 billion annually.
Identifying Causes and Consequences of Pharmacy Malpractice
Pharmacy malpractice is often preventable when healthcare professionals diligently perform their duties. However, errors can occur due to:
- Heavy workloads
- Constant distractions from phones and customers
- Poor penmanship by physicians
- Insufficient technical assistance
A 2013 study found that many medication errors involved incorrect drugs, wrong dosages, or inaccurate directions. Patients should always verify their prescriptions and medication labels before use. If you discover an error, contact your pharmacy and healthcare provider immediately. Pharmacists, pharmacy aides, and clerical co-workers can be held liable for incorrectly filled prescriptions that result in injury or death.
Understanding your medications and their potential side effects is crucial. Educate yourself by researching reputable sources such as the FDA to stay informed about your prescriptions.
