Reporting Medication Errors

Are you a victim of a medication error?  If so, the attached link may interest you.  The dangers of medication errors are so serious that the FDA has asked consumers and health care professionals to report medication errors.  The attached link will take you to a form that can be entered online and submitted to the FDA. 

As I have discussed on a number of prior blog posts, medication errors are preventable in almost all cases.  They come from pharmacists misfilling a prescription, nurses administering the wrong medication or an incorrect dosage, pharmaceuticals giving different medications similar names, and physicians who write prescriptions at an incorrect dosage or prescriptions that are inappropriate for the patient. 

Our experience with victims of medication errors reflects that these errors can be fatal.  If you or a loved one is a victim of medical malpractice due to a medication error, you are invited to contact us to discuss your situation. 

Sincerely yours,

Joshua Silverman
