The mistake might not even be from the pharmacist. My doctor has prescribed the same dose of one of my meds for over a year. The girl in the office called in a refill for me at half the dose. Since I take two a day, I did not even notice until I started running out -- sure enough the label said take one a day! If I had not already known what I was to take, I would have only been getting 1/2 my meds. As it was, I had to get a new rx and then they had to enter it as a dose change to get my insurance to pay early. Not a fatal mistake, but just shows errors happen. We do have to be careful! |
