Have you been left injured because of the misprescription of pharmaceutical drugs?
In recent years, the misprescription of pharmaceutical drugs has emerged as a critical issue which can affect the lives of those impacted. The effect on the victims can be severe.
The UK’s Medicine and Health Care Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) plans to introduce a new International Reliance Route for the approval of new medicines. This will be in addition to the existing reliance procedures whereby the MHRA can rely on a decision of the European Commission and/or approval granted by an EEA member state. These additional regulations will serve to protect the public.
Understanding misprescription
Misprescription occurs when a health care professional e.g., doctor, pharmacist or nurse makes an error in prescribing or dispensing medication. This can involve prescribing wrong medication, the incorrect dosage or failing to recognise potential drug interactions or allergies. These mistakes can lead to serious health complications, worsening of existing conditions, or the development of new health issues.
Consequences of misprescription
1. Physical damage, and in severe cases death.
2. Emotional and psychological impact.
3. The misprescription of drugs can have a financial effect on victims.
