To further understand what pharmacy malpractice is, we recommend seeking professional advice from a pharmacy lawyer. You need to be guided in case you want to pursue a lawsuit.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines a medication error as “any preventable event that may cause or lead to inappropriate medication use or patient harm while the medication is in the control of the healthcare professional, patient, or consumer.”
Medication errors can occur in a variety of settings. When a licensed pharmacist causes, or contributes, to a medication error that leads to a patient being injured, the pharmacist may be liable for pharmacy malpractice.

- Dispensing the wrong dosage
- Failing to provide correct instructions or warnings
- Failing to counsel a patient
- Providing opiates to opiate-naïve elderly patients
