Recent studies have revealed that quite a number of pharmacies are giving patients their medications, without giving them the accompanying warning and drug safety information as well. There are Federal regulated medication guides that MUST be given to patients for certain medications and unfortunately this study revealed that only SOME of the pharmacies – big chains and smaller ones – were actually giving them with the prescriptions!This information has been set as mandatory for certain medication because of the risks and side effects and the severity of the medication. It is scary to realize that many people are not properly informed of their medications when receiving these prescriptions,Please be sure to question your pharmacist each and very time you receive a prescription that you have ALL of the required warning and safety information that you need to review for that particular medication.If you, or someone you know, has suffered a medical complication due to a medication mix up, or because you were not given warning and safety information, please contact our office to discuss the details with a member of our medical malpractice staff.
