Need Legal Advice

[Hoofbite]

Well pills can look different depending on manufacturer, thats not uncommon and with the type of medication my wife takes it's something we have dealt with before.

AS far as the hospital, we did but I did not put it in my original post so thats my fault.

Gotcha. Sounds like you guys did the right thing.

Pharmacist is likely to get sent packing.

You can write to the Consumer Board of you state and make a complaint as most pharmacists are licensed by the state that they are in. More imporntantly I hope your wife is alright because having more than three seizures in a hour is very dangerous and can cause death.

I am sure there are worse places to ask for legal advice but none come to mind just this second.

Call a lawyer, and not one from the Yellow Pages.

Glad to hear your wife wasn't more adversely affected. If you have damages, be prepared to present proof.

Did you ever find out what those pills were?

That's a good line.:laugh2:

My wife transferred her prescription to a CVS pharmacy 2 days ago. The pills she received looked nothing like her prior ones but at first I did not think twice about it. Then I stated reading the bottle and the pill description on the bottle did not match what the pill looked like and the numbers imprinted on the pill were different.

When she took them she had a weird reaction so today she calls the pharmacy and they admit they gave her the wrong medication and now they want us to bring them back so they can give us the right ones.

Uh, do they think I'm just going to hand over those pills and forget their screw up so they can hide it?

My wife is on several medications any EVERYTHING she takes right down to cold medicine has to be cleared with her DR and closely monitored. She has had two sleepless night with what can almost be considered seizures where she would have bouts of uncontrollable shaking.

What would you do? Any lawyers here with some good advice?

I recommend you don't come here for this type of advise. I recommend you find a lawyer for that advise. ...and be careful about which one you choose.

Talk to your doctor too. That is probably the first place you should go.

without meaning to cause offence in my opinion this is americas most widely recognised contribution to humanity.
i absolutely despise the blame and suing culture that in my opinion started in your country and if you do follow this through its a classic example. dont get me wrong america has many positive influences on the world and this post isn't meant as an attack on your nation as personally i like it.
accidents happen, they're horrific sometimes but as scary as this one was it was rectified - thankfully before any damage was done - so in my opinion thats all it is. an accident.
and just to clarify sdogo i'm not trying to belittle the fear/anger you must have experianced, rather the desire to make a buck (which i'm not accusing you of) that seems to be the current day reaction as soon as anything untoward happens

You should be sued for this.

You should be sued for this.

I'm aware you say this occurred at CVS. But my legal advise is to sue Walgreens, because I hate them.

Over and out.
