No.   You will not win this potential  lawsuit.  There is no damage.  You could sue, and you would win.  But, what would you win?  If there are no damages then there is no monetary judgement.  You really do not even know if it was filled wrong.  I would ask for a copy of the script-or, at least to see it.  It could just have easily been written wrong.  It's a mistake that was caught before harm was done.  I would find out what happened.  Either you need to find a new pharmacy or a new doctor.  If it was something written wrong and the pharmacist should have notice it, you may be looking for  a new both.

Recent news coverage examined a case where a pharmacy technician inadvertently mixed a dialysis preparation with potassium chloride instead of sodium chloride.  Both the KCl and the NaCl were made by the same manufacturer and were sold in boxes that were extremely alike.  In this case, 2 patients died before before the error was noticed.  \n\nOther common errors:\nDosage miscalculation: misreading the symbol "u" for units, or misinterpretation of a decimal point resulting in a 10 fold dosage increase. \nDispensing wrong medication due to look-alike names: For example, Accutane/Accupril, Celebrex/Celexa/Celebryx, Losec/Lasix, Narcan/Norcuron, Zantac/Zyrtec, Lamictal/Lamisil, Taxol/Taxotere, Seroquel/Serozone, hydroxyzine/hydroxyquine, Cephlex/Keflex, etc, etc....\n\nThat said, all mistakes are preventable when the appropriate measures.  A prescription should always be double checked, from start to finish, by the pharmacist, or another technician (in certain areas, where the tech-check-tech program has been implemented).  In essence, with all this checking, a prescription is essentially done twice.  Also, keeping look-alike products stored in separate areas helps considerably.

You don't mention your son's age or why he was given oxycodone.  It is highly addictive.  I would recommend that if your son is a minor, you take the bottle and hand them out to him as needed and by the directions on the bottle.

The Rx messed up yes by not removing the old lable or if the old lable was not able to come off they must black it out. It is a concern and let the Rx manager know, it will be noted. Legal actions taken towards the Rx by reporting them to the Foods and Drug adminastration would not change a mistake, Id guess it was a simple mistake thats all.

i think it is always best to ask a doctor especially if its for your child. there could be a drug interaction or complication with any underlying conditions your daughter might have.

ask your doctor-the one that prescribed the medication.

Your best shot is to contact the pharmacy company distributing it to see if they have any programs to assist in the purchase. Often, they have a few.\n\n This must all be followed with a doctors perscription, of course.

It could be many things.  Drugs like extasy come in pill form, and ften have stamps on them.  Alas, it could be something like a vitmin though.  Iron pills are rust colored.  Allergy pills are funny colors.\n\nPerhaps you should sit down with your son and talk to him.  Ask what the pill is, and why he is taking it.  Use this as an opportunity to see if he is doing drugs to have a serious discussion about why doing drugs isn't a good idea, and the dangers associated with them.

i would stay away from them. mainly because they are not regulated by the FDA so they can give you anything! they could sell you a drug that is expired, recalled, removed from the market, or even one that has the wrong formulation in it. my best advice would be tell the dr what is going on and see if he can give you a different med choice. see if he can get you samples of the pulmicort. if none of that works, try the company that makes the drug. most of them have a website that you can use. and a lot of them offer discount cards if you do not have insurance.

That is very touchy. you might want to ask your doctor for some advice on that one as to what is safe to take and what is not safe to take.

So basically, your child has just been diagnosed with a neoplasm and you're thinking about suing the doctor presumably  for economic purposes. wow.\n\n////\n\nTo reply again: you're saying they misdiagnosed.  have you referred the child to another pool of doctors who drew another diagnose? is there no paraclinical evidence (cat,  rm scans, biopsing, etc) to back the original diagnosis?\n\nbasically, you're saying the neurologist drew the diagnosis out of thin air.

Not if they are prescribed to them. It depends how old the kid is, but it should be up to the parent to question the prescribing physician as to why their child is on the drug, and what the risks are Vs. the benefits.

Well, no two cases are alike.  I'd listen to his doctor's recommendations and if you don't see a change or are unsatisfied, go to another doctor for a second opinion.  You can also try talking to the local pharmacists.. sometimes they can give better advice.  While herbs are good for most people, two things to consider...one, just like prescription drugs, herbs can have different reactions with different people.. second, always research the drugs and herbs to see if they conflict or react towards one another.  Again, ask the pharmacist.

I actually heard about this on the news. I dont know if it was you.What about the baby's father? Do you think he could have had anything to do with it?I suggest you have an independent lab do a comprehensive blood,urine,and hair sample drug tests on you to prove you did not do drugs. Think about everything your child could come in contact with. You may not have given the child cocaine but someone else may have. See if they can do any other tests on the child in case the first test was contaminated or inaccurate.

Call the pharmacy to get the right answer and that is the fastest too!  Only  a phone call away.  I would say that it is probably o.k.,but not for sure on that.

I would suggest calling your physician or at the very least asking the pharmacist which would be the safest to take..Good Luck
