Prescription medication errors and medication mistakes cause injuries and deaths every year.
These injuries, which are avoidable, are usually caused by a doctor prescribing the medications incorrectly or the pharmacy filling the wrong medication or dispensing an incorrect dosage.
Medication and prescription errors are a prevelant medical problem and numerous Ohioans suffer serious injuries or die every year as a result.
Even worse, under legal loopholes, pharmacies are able to replace certain prescription medication with generics that are similar but not of the same theraputic value as the medication your doctor may want you to have. These switches in medications by the pharmacy, in many cases, are prompted by higher profit margins for drugs that they use in the switch.
Discuss with your doctor whether generic medications would cause a negative health effect in your situation. Importantly, the doctor should mark the prescription as DISPENSE AS WRITTEN, known as DAW.
