How Do Pharmacy Errors Occur?

Most cases of medical malpractice are due to human error, and this is the same in pharmacy errors. The
most common are in dosage size, meaning that you are given the wrong amount of the medication. The next
most common is being administered the wrong medicine, either because someone misread the prescription,
accidentally put the wrong medicine into the bottle, or is administering the right medicine to the wrong
person.

The consequences to the wrong medication can be serious. If you or someone you love has been given the
wrong medication,
