Prescription Label Errors
If a person is suffering from symptoms of an illness or pain from an injury, he or she may attempt to
treat the problems at home or with over-the-counter medications, or may wish to consult a medical professional
for stronger treatment. If the injury or illness is severe enough, the individual’s doctor may recommend
a prescription medication to help the healing process.
Prescription drugs often come with strict requirements for consumption and amount that can be safely
consumed. If the label is incorrect or contains the wrong instructions, the patient may suffer serious
injury as a result of the mistake. If you have been hurt by a prescription drug labeling error, contact
the Philadelphia pharmaceutical error lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 215-238-1130.
Errors in Prescription Labeling
Prescription label errors may include:
- Mislabeled medication types
- Incorrect instructions for consuming the medication
- Incorrect dosage amounts
- Unclear instructions
- Incorrect expiration dates
Mislabeled prescription medication can be very dangerous to persons who are misled by the instructions
on the bottle. In the event of an error on the label, persons may be eligible for compensation for pain,
injury, medical expenses, and other damages. Patients may suffer additional injuries on top of the illness
or pain they are currently suffering.
