Pharmaceutical Liability Handle Your Legal Affairs With Confidence

Tulsa Pharmaceutical Liability Attorney

Pharmacy Errors & Negligence in Oklahoma

Like other medical providers and facilities, pharmacies have a responsibility to adhere to a certain standard of care. This includes properly dispensing medications, managing patients’ medical records, and communicating with prescribing physicians, hospitals, and others. When pharmacies, pharmacists, pharmacy assistants, and other similar medical providers fail to provide acceptable care, patients can be seriously hurt.

If you or someone you love was harmed due to a pharmaceutical error, you could be entitled to financial compensation for your medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. Since 1983, Brewster & De Angelis has been fighting on behalf of victims of all types of medical malpractice, including pharmacy negligence. Our Tulsa pharmaceutical liability attorneys are here to provide the answers, information, and dedicated legal representation you need to move forward.

Examples of Pharmacy Errors & Negligence

Any time a pharmacy or pharmacy employee fails to uphold the standard of accepted care, it is considered pharmacy malpractice.

Some specific examples of common pharmacy errors include:

  • Dispensing the wrong medication
  • Giving medication to the wrong patient
  • Misreading prescriptions/abbreviations on prescriptions
  • Failing to provide proper instructions to the patient
  • Substituting a prescribed drug for another
  • Unavailable or inaccurate patient information
  • Failing to obtain a patient’s medical history, including drug allergies
  • Incorrectly preparing/filling prescriptions (wrong dose, wrong amount, etc.)
  • Poor communication between medical providers
  • Failing to consider or detect adverse drug reactions/interactions

Defective Pharmaceutical Drugs

In addition to pharmacy errors, pharmaceutical liability can apply to pharmaceutical companies that manufacture, sell, or distribute defective drugs. These entities are responsible for adequately testing the efficacy and safety of their medications. However, in an effort to increase profits, pharmaceutical companies often push new drugs through expedited testing trials—or even ignore test results showing that certain medications put users at an unreasonable risk of foreseeable injury.

When pharmaceutical companies prioritize profits over public safety, they can and should be held accountable.

At Brewster & De Angelis, we represent individuals and families affected by defective pharmaceutical drugs, including but not limited to:

  • Acne medications
  • Antibiotics
  • Antidepressants
  • Antipsychotics
  • Diabetes medications
  • Dialysis treatments
  • Epileptic drugs
  • Gastrointestinal drugs
  • Heart disease medications
  • Heartburn medications
  • Osteoporosis drugs
  • Proton pump inhibitors
  • Stroke medications

We have successfully handled cases involving defective drugs like Vioxx, Baycol, Propulsid, and fentanyl patches, as well as claims involving contaminated medications, adverse drug reactions and interactions, untested and off-label drug use, and more.
