<title>Justice is sought for victim of alleged pharmacy malpractice at Walgreens</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>When I read this story, I was horrified by what happened to a newly pregnant St. Louis woman who went to Walgreens to fill a prescription for prenatal vitamins and was instead given a potent chemotherapy drug that killed her unborn child.&nbsp;The woman and her husband filed a lawsuit seeking some form of justice against&nbsp;the powerful pharmacy chain, alleging that Walgreens failed to properly supervise pharmacy personnel who dispensed the medicine, failed to verify the prescription with her physician, and failed to follow appropriate protocol. </p><p>The couple alleges in their complaint that she&nbsp;began to feel ill and began vomiting about a month into her pregnancy and assumed&nbsp;it was&nbsp;morning sickness, all the while taking what she thought were the prenatal vitamins.&nbsp; About a month later, she miscarried&nbsp;her baby.&nbsp;It is alleged that her unborn child was killed due to the ingesting of the potent chemotherapy drug.&nbsp; After her miscarriage, she continued to take the&nbsp;chemotherapy drugs (still thinking they were prenatal vitamins) because she believed that the vitamins would&nbsp;prepare her for a subsequent pregnancy. It wasn't until she telephoned Walgreens for&nbsp;a refill that&nbsp;the pharmacist realized the mistake.&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/21380970/for/cnbc">Please read the full article.</a>&nbsp; I implore you to write in about your own personal stories pertaining to pharmacy mistakes and errors and your opinions about what has happened to this couple.</p>]]></description>

<title>Pharmacy Malpractice</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p>Pharmacy errors can occur when a pharmacist i) dispenses the incorrect medication, ii) dispenses the incorrect dosage of the correct medication, iii) dispenses the correct medication with incorrect instructions, or iv) when the pharmacist fails to take into account known drug allergies or dangerous drug interactions with other medications being taken by a patient. </p>
<p>Serious injuries and even death can result from the negligence of pharmacists. People who have fallen victim to pharmacy negligence may become unable to work, may require long term care, may become disabled, and may experience a serious decline in quality of life.
