St. Louis Incorrect Dosage Attorneys
Physicians may make many prescriptions on a daily basis, carefully assessing a patient’s condition and the strength of a drug to determine the right amount for treatment. However, mistakes in the issuance of a prescription or its administration can prevent a patient from receiving the medication as intended. As a result, a patient may receive the wrong dose, which can have a profound impact on his or her health.
If you or someone you love has been harmed due to receiving a drug dosage that was too high or too low, it may be appropriate to pursue financial compensation through a civil lawsuit.

The Consequences of Incorrect Dosage
When a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist makes a mistake regarding a patient’s dosage, they may potentially risk endanger a patient’s life. Even if the consequences are not quite so drastic, they can still have a significant adverse effect on a person’s life. If a patient receives an incorrect dosage of a drug, the following issues may occur:
- Poisoning from too much of a particular chemical
- Liver damage
- Heart attack
- Dangerous blood pressure changes
- If given too little of a drug, a lack of treatment can leave a patient suffering
