Medication Errors
Medication errors are deviations in the drug circuit (prescription, dispensing or administration) that depart from lex artis. Not every adverse reaction implies error: some side effects are known and accepted risks.
Errors may occur in prescription (inappropriate drug, incorrect dose or regimen, unassessed contraindications), dispensing (confusion of packaging or active ingredients) or administration (wrong dose, route or patient).
For liability to arise, it must be shown that verification, recording or supervision duties in each phase were breached and that this breach directly caused the harm suffered by the patient.
Expert assessment considers prior medication, comorbidities, product information warnings and clinical guidelines, as well as internal pharmacy and nursing protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Keep the medication and its packaging, request your medical record and administration charts, and consult a specialist in healthcare liability to assess whether there were protocol breaches and a causal link to the harm.
Yes. A community pharmacy may be liable if it dispenses a different drug than prescribed or fails in its verification and warning duties. In such cases the pharmacist and, where applicable, their insurer may be held responsible.
No. Many adverse effects are part of the known risk profile of the drug. Negligence exists only when an avoidable error in prescription, dispensing or administration, departing from lex artis, can be shown to have caused the harm.
