Pursuing Claims Against Doctors and Pharmacies
Prescription drugs are carefully regulated for a reason. They are potent substances that must be carefully administered to the patients who need them. When doctors and pharmacies make errors in prescribing and dispensing pharmaceuticals, their patients can suffer serious harm.
I am Irwin E. Weiss, an experienced Baltimore prescription error attorney serving clients throughout Maryland since 1978. I help clients pursue medical malpractice lawsuits against doctors and pharmacies for errors such as the following:
- Wrong drug: There are several reasons why a patient might be dispensed the wrong drug. His or her doctor may have miswritten the prescription, or the pharmacist may have misread it or transferred the prescription from the wrong container.
- Wrong dosage: There are also several reasons why a patient might be dispensed the wrong dosage of the correct drug. The most common is the miswritten or misread decimal point, which may be the fault of either the doctor or the pharmacist.
- Contraindicated drug: Doctors have a responsibility to make sure that the drugs they prescribe do not have dangerous interactions with other drugs their patients are taking. Pharmacies also have a responsibility to track and warn against dangerous interactions.
If you have suffered serious harm or have lost a loved one as a result of a prescription error, you need a lawyer with the experience to obtain the compensation you deserve. I have an extensive track record of helping clients pursue prescription error claims.
